Gimillu/Innin-šumu-ibni (G), oblate of (Ištar of) Uruk and overseer of remainders (ša muḫḫi rēḫāni), recounts to Nabû-mukīn-apli/Nādinu//Dābibī (NMA), High Priest (šatammu) of Eanna, the investigation into the whereabouts of a castrated  (tapṭīru) ox of the Lady of Uruk. When the ox went missing from a fold of Šulāya/Arad-Innin on Cam. 03.VI.16, G informed Ea-kurbanni, policeman (pāqudu). Together, they searched houses and found fresh (raṭbu) beef in the upper storey (bīt rugbi) of the house in (tp)Bīt-Bagēsu, where Habaṣīru/Kalbāya (Ḫ) lived. They brought the meat and presented it to the assembly (puḫru).

NMA questions Ḫ in the assembly of Babylonians and Urukeans. Ḫ admits that the meat comes from a castrated ox that was injured in (tp)Bīt-Aḫtir. He received it from Balāṭu/Kiribtu, from (tp)Bīt-Aḫtir.

7 witnesses.
