Paraphrase

Multiple transactions of the same type: monthly 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 in specific months for a few named gods.

Only part of the obverse is extant: all the preserved lines contain the same formula “0;0.5 kor (c. 30 l) (in) the month X for the god/goddess DN: (allotted to) PN” (n BÁN arḫu MN pāni DN PN). The timespan covered by these allotments refers to the semester from Araḫsamna (VIII) to Nisan (I): groups of six entries each (one for each month) are separated by horizontal lines.
