Paraphrase

List of livestock credited to a single herdsman. Dated.

The tablet opens with a list of sheep: 54 rams (puhālu), 831 ewes (lahru), 82 male lambs (kalūmu), 195 female lambs (parratu). This is followed by the name A. Neither a verb nor a preposition can be read, though a preposition (most probably ina pāni) may have preceded the name of A (in the broken line at the top of the reverse, l. 11). If so, the listed sheep are those taken care of by A. Finally, the text states that A delivered (no verb) 13 lambs (parru), of which 2 are KAL-šú (uncl.) to the fattening stable (bīt urê).
