Administrative record of transfer. Dated.

Multiple transactions of different types: the temple pays rations from the debit of another individual, and an unclear transaction regarding the clothing ceremony.

A, the weaver (išparu), received (mahāru, Stat.) 0;3.4.3 kor of dates (≈ 207 l.) of (ina) his rations for Dûzu (IV), on account of (ana muhhi) B. Payne (2007, 95) reconstructs the following: (1) the temple owed rations to A (2) B owed to the temple, and therefore (3) B paid directly to A.

The text then mentions what seems to be an unrelated second amount of dates, though the end of the tablet is broken and the context is unclear; from (ina) the 0;3 kor for the prebendary payments (maššartu) of the clothing ceremony (lubuštu), C … (broken)
