Note regarding silver put at the disposal of a smith. Dated (no RN). Probably Npl.
The tablet is a standard “ina pāni note” recording that A, the bronze smith (nappāh siparri), has 3 minas 23 shekels at the disposal (ina pāni) for (fashioning/repairing) two silver šappu-vessels.
Then, following the date, the tablet further elaborates on the origin of the silver. The silver is from (ina libbi) the 3 minas 27 shekels of white silver that the temple administrator (šatammu) gave (nadānu) for the šappu-vessels. (As for the rest): 2½ shekels of silver were lost (during the works) and 1½ shekels were stored(?) (kal-za-ta, uncl. see also NCBT 885).
A= Marduka/Nabû-zēru-ibni (//Nappāhu), bronze smith (nappāh siparri), see Payne 2007 (PhD diss.), 314
