The document, written on the 19th of Ayyār (II) in the 2nd regnal year of Darius, records that the Ebabbar temple gave (nadānu, wr. sum-nu) 2 measures (mašīhu) of sesame (šamaššammū) to (ana) A, a performer (ēpišānu) of the oil presser’s prebendary duties. The sesame is probably for the preparation of the regular offerings of the last 15 days (šapattu arkītu) of the current month (Ayyār) or for the allotment for the said offerings.
A= Bēl-iddin, performer (ēpišānu) of the oil presser’s prebendary duties (Bongenaar 1997, 272)
