Paraphrase

List of livestock (allocated to a single herdsman?). Fragmentary. Dated.

Simple list of head of cattle belonging to the Eanna: 2 bulls (puḫālu), 28 cows (littu), 2 oxen (alpu) that are 2 years old, 5 heifers (burtu), 8 8 male calfs (bīru) and [x] female calfs (sāḫirtu).

The total, lost in a lacuna, and probably also the name of the herdsman to whom the animals had been allocated were provided at the end of the list.
