The treasury of Eanna receives more than 600;0 dates from Ardia/Eanna-šumu-ibni (A1), who is under the management of (ina qātē) Ardia/Nabû-bān-aḫi//Rēmūt-Ea (A2). The dates are the impost (imittu) and rests (riḫitu) of imposts of fields, property of Eanna, for the 2nd year of Cam. A1(?) (Ié.an.na-mu-) measured them out (mašāḫu) by commission of (našpartu) Nabû-aḫu-iddin, Royal Overseer (ša rēš šarri bēl piqitti) of Eanna, (and collected) from the gardeners under the management of A2. This is apart from a previous receipt (giṭṭu) about 2073;0,5 dates that he measured out at the (tp)Takkīru Canal (nār Takkīru).
