Paraphrase

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

The first lines of the text provide the date and the period to which the subsequent allotments refer, i.e. six months from Ṭebēt (X) to Simān (III) of Nebuchadnezzar’s 41st regnal year. The entries are separated by horizontal lines and record such distributions with the formula “n (amount of goods) for X days (of cultic service), (allotted to) PN, he has received” (n ša X ūmu ša PN našû [wr. GIŠ], sometimes also with the addition of a-pil  “he is satisfied”).
