207 sheep of Eanna (143 ewes, 4 male lambs, and 60 female lambs) that were grazing free on the other bank of the (tp)Tigris are put at the disposal (ina pāni) Nabû-ēreš/Nabû-mukīn-apli (NE), to be put in a fold (qabuttu). They are the gift (erbu, lit. income) of NE and Nabû-bēlšunu/Rēmūtu//Kunāya and his brothers.
NE will settle his complete account (nikkassu) in Eanna, as the shepherds of the Lady of Uruk do. He will not collect any free grazing sheep and goats from anybody.
3 witnesses.
Scribe: Nergal-iddin/Nabû-šumu-ukīn//Sîn-tabni.
