Content
- 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 for prebendary work (to be?) carried out on specific days for a few named gods. In the heading it is specified that goods were destined for the guqqû-offerings.
The entries are organised in groups and separated by horizontal lines. From what is extant, the formula “n measures (mašīḫu) (of goods) for X days (in) the month X for the god/goddess DN (allotted to) PN” can be recognised (n mašīḫu ša ūmu ša arḫu MN pāni DN PN), with some variations.
The reverse refers to a distribution for the ceremonies with the copper kettledrum (riksu lillissu).
