List of livestock allocated to multiple herdsmen, with extractions in wool, goat hair and male animals. Scribal worksheet.
The top part of the tablet is broken: listit must have listed an unknown amount of female lambs (parratu), she-goats (enzu), he-goats (urīṣu), young she-goats (unīqu) and young he-goats (lalû), for a total of [x]100+18 sheep and goats (ṣēnu), that the Eanna put under Abdāya’s/Abu-ilia responsibility (ina pāni).
The herdsman in charge will deliver a broken amount of male animals, less the expected death deductions of 46 sheep (mašku, lit. hides) and 16 UD.DA (uncl., perhaps goat hair) (in return).
LINE.
The Eanna further put under Nabû-irâm’s/Ša’iru responsibility (ina pāni) a total of 418 sheep and goats (ṣēnu). His herd consists of [x]+6+280 rams (puḫālu), [x]+60 fertile ewes (laḫru tālittu), [x]+22 female lambs (parratu) and [x]+20 male lambs (parru).
The herdman in charge will deliver a broken amount of male animals, less the expected death deductions of 32 sheep and 11 UD.DA (in return).
LINE.
The reverse lists the amounts of wool (šipātu) (that the Eanna received from its herdsmen): a broken amount from (ša) Balāssu/Bēl-ēṭir, [x] talents and 45 minas from Abdāya/Abu-ilia, and [x] talents from Nabû-irâm/Ša’iru.
Rest broken off.
