Administrative record of transfer. Dated.

Multiple transactions of different types: delivery of iron tools by two smiths and payment of their wages from the temple’s stores.

The tablet records that from the 16 minas 10 shekels of iron that were given to the smiths (nappāhu) A1 and A2, the temple received (back) (mahāru, Stat.) 11½ minas 5 shekels in processed (gamru) goods, as follows: 3 iron spades (māru), 2 iron qulmû ... tools, 2 iron axes (haṣṣinnu), 1 iron dagger (patru), and x iron sickles (naggallu). The smiths’ account is settled (nikkassu epēšu).They were paid (eṭēru, Stat.) 2 minus ⅛ (bitqu maṭû) shekels of silver, the remainder (rēhu) of their wages (idu), from the temple stores (makkūru).
