List of livestock allocated to a single herdsman, from the temple's general income. Partly uncl. Dated.
The tablet records that the Eanna put 2 animals under the responsibility (ina pāni) of Kināya/Ammānu.
It concerns: 1 castrated bull (alpu tapṭīru) from the temple’s general income (irbu) that had been allocated to (ina pāni) Innin-šarru-uṣur, the temple’s herd supervisor (rab būli) and which his messenger Ḫašdāya had returned (abāku, Perf., lit. brought in)(*), as well as 1 female lamb (parratu) from the temple’s general income.
(*)For a different interpretation, see Gehlken 1990, 45: Ḫašdāya leads a bull away (abāku) from the place where the temple keeps its general income and allots it to Innin-šarru-uṣur, whereas the lamb is allotted directly to Kināya/Ammānu.
