Paraphrase

Single transaction: receipt for carcasses from the offering shepherd. Dated.

The Eanna receives (maḫāru Stat) 2+[x] carcasses (pagru) of male lambs (parru) from Kudurru, the offering shepherd (rēˀi ginê).

Another broken amount is received from Šumāya, who is probably Kudurru’s father (although the reading of his name presents some uncertainties). Could also be read as Zēria who received the goods.
