Paraphrase

List of līmu-plots of the Eanna temple in the Puqūdu territory. Undated.

The tablet lists 7 “thousand”-field complexes (līmu) of the Lady of Uruk in the Puqūdu territory, which have not been measured (lā mašha).*

Plot 1: (front): 1,100 (cubits), in Magdānu, stretching (šadādu) for 3,000 (cubits)

Plot 2: (front): 1,000 (cubits), in Lasūtu, stretching for 2,000 (cubits)

Plot 3: (front): 1,100 (cubits), in Bīnu-ša-Bubbūˀa, stretching for 3,000 (cubits)

Plot 4: (front): 1,100 (cubits), in Šarru-iqbi, stretching until there is no water (to irrigate)

Plot 5: (front): 1,100 (cubits), in Immērū(?) in front of Til-himmari, stretching for 2,000 (cubits)

Plot 6: (front): 1,100 (cubits), in Takādu, stretching for 2,000 (cubits)

Plot 7: (front): 1,100 (cubits), in Mankiti, stretching for 3,000 (cubits).

 

* The first figure in each entry (probably) represents the length of the frontage measured in cubits, and the second figure represents the length of the flank of the plot (Janković 2013: 358).
