Paraphrase

Tabulated list of livestock (allocated to multiple herdsmen, scribal worksheet?). Fragmentary.

Fragment of a tablet organised in 6 columns with headings: (i) rams (puhalu), (ii) ewes (lahru), (iii) male lambs (kalūmu), (iv) female lambs (parratu), (v) he-goats (urīṣu) and (vi) she-goats (enzu). Several hundreds of sheep and goats belonging to the Eanna are thus listed. There doesn’t seem to have been a column for the names of those who were responsible for the mentioned animals, unless it is lost at the tablet’s far right side. The chart is introduced by a line recording that these sheep and goats (ṣēnu) are property (makkūru) of the temple of Ištar and Nanāya. The order of the listed animals resembles those of the scribal worksheets, see e.g. W18206,33 (= AUWE 5 13).
