Paraphrase

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 (sāhirtu): a total of 30 cows that A, the royal resident (qīpu) of the Eanna, deducted (našāru) from B’s fold (qabuttu) and gave (nadānu, wr. SUM-na) to C. This agreement does not include, however, previous cows that are still under B’s responsibility (ina pāni). Via(?) (ina qātē, reconstructed) D1+2, messengers (mār šipri) of A(?).

A = Sîn-iddin, royal commissioner (qīpu); B = Nabû-mušētiq-uddê/Nabû-šumu-iddin; C = Bānia/Šulāya; D1 = Nabû-bān-aḫi/Arad-Nabû, messenger (mār šipri); D2 = […]/Šūzubu, messenger (mār šipri)
