(from A’s herd) 104 male lambs (parru) and 5 he-goats (urīṣu). inner transferOf these (ina libbi) the following animals were reassigned: 30 male lambs (parru) are for the fattening stables (urû), 15 for the offerings (sattukku) of the 22nd of Simān (III), 7 are put to stud (puhālūtu) with (ana) B, and 43 are (given) to the offering shepherd (rēˀi sattukku/ginû) for (ana) pasture (rēˀû).
