Balanced account: expenditure of silver for the purchase of linen, delivery of the linen to the temple, and settling of the accounts. Dated.

A1 and A2, the launderer (pūṣāya), were sent (abālu Š) by the Eanna temple with (ina qātē) 20 shekels of silver to purchase (mahīru) linen.

The temple then received (mahāru, Stat.) 2 talents 20 minas of linen worth 18⅔ shekels of silver. ¾ shekels were used for the hire (idu) of a donkey and a weaned foal (pirsu), ½ shekels were returned (no verb) to the stores (makkūru), and ⅛ shekels were withheld/re-allocated(?) (parāsu, Stat., uncl.). All these add up to 20 shekels of silver […]; their account is settled (nikkassu epēšu).

 

 

A1= Ina-tēšê-ēṭir/Tabnēa//Nūr-Sîn; A2= Nanāya-iddin, the launderer (pūṣāya), also known as a temple-serf, see Payne 2007 (PhD diss.), 187f.
