Appointment of a prebendary brewer. Nabû-mušētiq-uddê/Innin-ina-tēši-ēṭir//Ekur-zākir comes before Nabû-mukīn-apli/Nādinu//Dābibī, bishop (šatammu) of Eanna, to request the income right of a prebendary-brewer. Nabû-mukīn-apli asks Ištar-aplu-uṣur/Nabû-balāssu-iqbi//Ekur-zākir and Šamaš-zēru-iddin/Aḫulap-Innin//Ekur-zākir if he has the right and if his mother is “pure” (elletu). Both men confirmed this to the assembly of mār banê. Inspection of the temple register confirms the prebend had been in the name of his great-uncle, Marduk-šumu-ibni. Seven witnesses and Nabû-mukīn-apli/Marduk-šumu-iddin//Balāṭu, the scribe. |
