Tabulated list of livestock allocated to multiple herdsmen. Fragmentary. Dated.

The tablet is organised in a tabulated form with 3 columns bearing headings.

On the obverse, there is a list of pure bulls (puḫālu ellu) and male calfs (bīru) that the Eanna entrusted (uncertain: the verb is not written)* in the hands (ina qātē) of the herdsmen (nāqidu). The animals are divided between (i) “pure” (ellu) and (ii) “for the plough” (ša epinni), with (iii, no heading) the names of the individual herdsmen added in the third column.

Then the obverse breaks off but it may have contained a summary total and the name of the man held liable for these animals (...?), as is the case on the reverse. The animals listed on the reverse are (i) "cows" (littu) and (ii) "male calfs" (bīru) with (iii) the names of "the appointed herdsmen's" (ša ina qātē) in the last column: the Eanna put these animals, 16 in total, at the disposal of  Rēmūtu (ina pāni).

(*) Differently, Gehlken 1990, 48: the animals were collected from the herdsmen.

The tablet is organised in a tabulated form with 3 columns bearing headings. On the obverse, there is a list of clean bulls (puhālu ellu) and male calfs (bīru) that the Eanna entrusted (uncertain: the verb is not written)* in the hands (ina qātē) of the herdsmen (nāqidu). The animals are divided between (i) “pure” (ellu) and (ii) “for the plough” (ša epinni), with (iii, no heading) the names of the individual herdsmen added in the third column.

The animals listed on the reverse are (i) "cows" (littu) and (ii) "male calfs" (bīru) with (iii) the names of "the appointed herdsmen's" (ša ina qātē) in the last column: the Eanna put these animals, 16 in total, under A’s responsibility (ina pāni).
