The document, written on the 19th of Simān (III) in the 1st year (no king), records that the Ebabbar temple gave (nadānu, wr. sum.na) 2 measures (mašīhu) of dates from Dilmun (asnû). This includes (adi) the previous (issue of dates). The recipient is not specified.
After the date, the document also records, that the Ebabbar temple gave (nadānu, wr. sum.na) 1 offering-measure (mašīhu ša sattukki) of choice dates (makkasu) to (ana) A. This is apart from (elat) the previous (issue of dates). Both issues will be used to (ina)* prepare the regular offerings of the month Simān (III).
(*)Alternative interpretations are possible due to the ambigious meaning of ina (issued from/intended for).
