Administrative record of transfer. Dated.

Single transaction: a delivery of gold to the temple for a divine statue.

The Eanna temple received (mahāru, Stat.) from A1 and A2, the goldsmiths, ½ minus 1/40 (hallūru) shekels of gold, with which they repaired (batqu ṣabātu) the rosettes (ayyaru) made of sādu-gold that belong to the Lady-of-Uruk.

 

 A1= Ištar-šumu-ibni (/Nādin//Bābūtu), goldsmith (kutimmu), see Payne 2007 (PhD diss.), 235ff.; A2= Bēl-ibni (/Nabû-zēru-ibni//Nappāhu), a blacksmith, see Payne 2007 (PhD diss.), 300f.
