LINE
The following lines, each time divided by a ruling line, list the amount of flour per supplier (A1, A2, A3, A4). They are either mentioned with their name and/or profession. The suppliers include a launderer (pūṣaya) (l.1: A1), a shepherd (rēˀû) (l.2: A2), a weaver of multi-coloured cloth (išpar birmi) (l.3), an employee (ša) of the temple's storehouse (bīt makkūri) (l.7: A3), a leatherworker (aškāpu) (l.8: A4), the carpenters (naggāru) (l.9), (the employees of) the sheep shed (bīt immerī) (l.10) and the gatekeepers (atû) (l.11). The following 30+ lines are broken. The document states at the end that it concerns a total amount of 6;3.1.3 kor (1197 liter). Note that none of the listed suppliers are affiliated with the prison (Bongenaar 1997, 120).
