Administrative record of transfer. Dated (no RN).
Multiple transactions of the same kind: delivery of gold to the temple and its return to the deliverer for cleaning.
The Eanna temple received (mahāru, Stat.) from A 23¼ shekels of naltar-gold (in the form of) an urat bābi* of the breast ornament (irtu) of Nanāya. The gold is (still) at his(?) disposal (ina pāni-ma)** for cleaning (kuppuru) the surfaces (qaqqaru).
The temple also received 22 shekels of gold (in the form of) an urat bābi* for the same breast ornament (wr. ki.min “ditto”) from B. This gold is (too, still) at his disposal** for cleaning.
* for urat bābi see Beaulieu 2003, 389.
** the unusual spelling ina igi-ni-šá-a-ma, according to Payne, suggests that the gold was delivered to the temple and then reissued back to the same goldsmith for cleaning, see Payne 2007 (PhD diss.), 208.
A= Nabû-nāṣir (/Nergal-iddin), a known goldsmith, see Payne 2007 (PhD diss.), 248f.; B= Kidinnu (/Šadûnu), a known goldsmith, see Payne 2007 (PhD diss.), 244
