Administrative record of transfer.

pSingle transaction with multiple entries: a list of garments given for repair and cleaning. Dated (no RN).

The tablet lists woven cloths (mihṣu) that the Eanna temple gave (nadānu, wr. sum-nu) to weavers (išparu), and one unnamed launderer (pūṣāya), for (ana) repairs (batqu). This header-like info is added at the end of the text.

1 lubāru-garment and 1 šalhu-garment are at the disposal (ina pāni) of fA1 for sewing (kubbû); 2 lubāru-garments of the (divine) Ladies/Mistresses (dgašanmeš) are at the disposal of A2 and A3; 1 lubāru-garment is at the disposal of A2; 1 cloth-cover (hullānu) is at the disposal of A3; and 6 šalhu-garments are at the disposal of the launderer for (ana) cleaning (zikûtu).

 

A1= fḪipāya, weaver (išparu); A2= Nanāya-ēreš (/Nabû-ušallim), weaver (išparu), see Payne 2007 (PhD diss.), 186f.; A3= Ṭāb-Uruk (/Balāssu?), weaver (išparu) and a known temple-serf, see Payne 2007 (PhD diss.), 200.
