Content
- Paraphrase
Multiple transactions of different types: receipt of sacrificial sheep and allocation of sheep for fattening. Dated.
The Eanna received (maḫāru Stat.) back from its offering shepherd (rēˀi ginê) the 7 ewes (laḫru), 2 male lambs (kalūmu) and 2 female lambs (parratu) that had been entrusted (paqdu) to him: in total, 11 sheep and goats (ṣēnu) from the temple's general income (irbu).
After a lacuna, the text continues on the reverse by listing 2 individuals (... and Šamaš-zēru-ibni/Iddina) as well as 6 more irbu-sheep destined for (ana) the fattening stable (urû), that were allocated to (and still with) Bibēya (ina pāni). The number 409 is written on the lower edge of the tablet, followed by one or more broken (and possibly also erased) signs.
