Content
- Paraphrase
Tabulated list of livestock (allocated to multiple herdsmen, scribal worksheet?). Fragmentary.
Fragment of a tablet organised in 6 columns with headings: (i) rams (puḫalu), (ii) ewes (laḫru), (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) belong to the Eanna. The order of the listed animals resembles those of the scribal worksheets, see e.g. W18206,33 (= AUWE 5 13).
