YBC 04152

On Cyr. 02.III.09, at the first double hour (bēru) of the day, 10 freemen (mār banî) (coll. Beaulieu 2003: 263), members of the priestly assembly (kiništu) of Eanna, report Nāṣiru (N), an oblate of the Lady of Uruk, to Nabû-aḫu-iddin, Royal Overseer (bēl piqitti) of Eanna.

When serving as a runner (musaḫḫiru) at a gate during a procession (tabû) of the goddess Aškayītu (Urkayītu), N committed a greatly sacrilegious act (šallatu rabītu). In the presence of the freemen and the entire city assembly (puḫur āli gabbi), at the first double hour of the day, N approached (lit. entered ) the gods of Esagil and Ezida of Babylon and Borsippa.
