Cadastral text. Undated. From internal evidence one may assume that the tablet was written in Cyrus’ 4th regnal year or later.

The tablet is a cadastral text that deals with urban agricultural properties and the areas just outside the city of Uruk. The details given are the location, size, and orientation of the
plots. Some entries also note the size of the land planted with date palms. Most entries do not specify ownership, and this information was probably in the (now lost) heading or colophon. Yet it is assumed that the text deals with properties of the Eanna temple (Janković 2013 (PhD diss.), 351).

The top part of the tablet is broken off, and an unknown number of lines are lost. The remaining text is structured in 13 sections separated by LINEs.
