Administrative record of transfer. Dated (no RN).

Multiple transactions of the same type: a list of materials issued to a weaver and the finished goods he delivered back to the temple.

The tablet records the raw materials issued to A, a known weaver, followed by an account of all the finished goods he delivered 3.5 months later.

A total of 5 talents 24 minas of wool was given (nadānu, Stat.) to A up till (adī) the 5th of Šabāṭ (XI), year 12 for (his) work (ana dullu):

outgoing list: 15 minas 7 shekels of purple wool, 37 minas 8½ shekels of ṭumānu-linen, 21 minas, 16 shekels of inzahurētu-dye, 1 talent 36⅔ minas 5 shekels of ‘fresh’ (ša pî ruqqi) purple wool, 2½ minas of alum (gabû) from Egypt, 50½ minas of hūratu-dye, 8⅔ minas, 6½ shekels of red wool dyed with inzahurētu, 20 minas of alum from Kašappu, ½ minas 7 shekels of red-purple wool, 3 minas of … wool.

From this (ina libbi), up through the 14th of Ayyār (II), year 13, the Eanna temple received (mahāru, Stat.) from A:

incoming list: 25 minas 26⅔ shekels of mihṣu-cloth of ‘fresh’ (ša ruqqi) purple wool, 9(?) minas 2½ shekels of ṭumānu-linen, 12 minas 48⅓ (+?) shekels ditto (ki.min) […], 36 minas 9⅔ shekels ditto of red [wool dyed with …], 3 minas 12 19/24 ditto of red wool dyed with inzahurētu, 1 mina 53⅛ shekels ditto of purple wool, 28 shekels ditto of red-purple wool, ⅔ minas 7½ shekels ditto of “apple-colored” wool,
