Paraphrase

Multiple transactions of the same type: per diem allotment of comestibles to prebendholders (for the preparation of the offerings). Very fragmentary.

Fragment of a tablet that registers the distribution of basic foodstuffs in a way similar to Wx20 =AUWE 5 73. The entries are separated by horizontal lines and record such distributions with the usual formula “n (amount of goods) for X days (of cultic service), (allotted to) PN” (n ša X ūmu ša PN).

Specific reference is made for which month and which god (pāni DN) the workers received the allotted goods, but most of it is now lost.

Recipients include: l.2 Balāṭu, l.3 Marduk-ētir, l.5 Marduk-šumu-iddin
