Paraphrase

List of monthly allotments of comestibles (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 reverse is extant: all the preserved lines contain the same formula “0;0.0.X kor (in) the month X (for) the god/goddess DN” (n qa arḫu MN pāni DN). Where extant, the amount of the distributed good is always 2[+x];4.3.3 kor (c. 525 l); the timespan covered by these allotments refers to the six months from Šabaṭ (XI) to Dûzu (IV): groups of six entries each (one for each month) are separated by horizontal lines.

The formulary of this text follows the one described by Freydank 1971, 16 (Gruppe 6).
