Transfer of livestock from a single (herds)man to another one by the royal resident’s order. Dated.
The tablet lists 12 […]-cows, 5 […]-cows, 3 […]-oxen and 10 free-roaming cows (sāḫirtu): a total of 30 cows that Sîn-iddin, the royal resident (qīpu) of the Eanna, deducted (našāru) from Nabû-mušētiq-uddê’s/Nabû-šumu-iddin fold (qabuttu) and gave (nadānu, wr. SUM-na) to Bānia/Šulāya.
This agreement does not include, however, previous cows that are still under Nabû-mušētiq-uddê’s/Nabû-šumu-iddin responsibility (ina pāni). Via(?) (ina qātē, reconstructed) Nabû-bān-aḫi/Arad-Nabû and […]/Šūzubu, messengers (mār šipri) of Sîn-iddin(?).
