Administrative record of transfer. Dated.

Multiple transactions: note recording the expenditures of silver for various purposes.

The tablet records several transactions of what seems to be expenditures of silver for various purposes (e.g. purchase of livestock and payment of salaries). There is no apparent connection between the different transactions, although one cannot be excluded.

15 barren ewes (lahru, wr. u8.sal.máh) and 3 [...]-goats, of A1, 2 barren ewes of A2; total of 21. Of which (ina libbi): 16, worth (ana) 7 shekels of silver (kaspu), are at the disposal (ina pāni) of B1, and 1, worth ½ shekel, is at the disposal of B2. The silver is received (mahāru, Stat.) (it is not entirely clear who and from who the silver was received).

… (broken) for ⅓ kor (60 l.) of barley (uṭṭatu) as salaries (kurummatu) to C, and 1 she-goat (enzu) for 5 hides (mašku), for bellows (nappahu) to D, the smith (nappāhu); no verb.

 

A1= Ardia/Bibānu; A2= Innin-šarru-[…]; B1= Ilu-uballiṭ//Aplāya; B2= Kiribtu//Nādin; C= Nūrēa//Šamaš-uballiṭ; D= Nanāya-ēreš, smith (nappāhu)
