Multiple transactions of the same type: distribution of leftovers to prebendholders. Very fragmentary.
[0];3?.5 kor (c. 138 l.), leftovers (rēḫtu) from the days of the prebend of the brewers (sirāšūtu) and of the bakers (nuḫatimmūtu), “of” (ša, i.e. “due to”?) …-kin-aplu and his workers (ṣābu). [0;0].2 (c. 12 l), leftovers (rēḫtu) from Nisan (I) (that are) outstanding (ina ṣēri). [0;0].2 (c. 12 l), “of” (ša, i.e. “due to”?) Šamaš-zēru-iddin and his workers (ṣābu), leftovers (rēḫtu) from Nisan (I) to the end of Ulūl (VI). 20[+x];4.2 kor (c. 3756l), “of” (ša, i.e. “due to”?) Balāṭu, the …, by order of (ina qībi) the royal resident (qīpu).
In the following fragmentary passage only one amount (14;2 kor, c. 2592 l) is extant; the rest of the obverse is broken off. On the reverse, the text continues with a simple list containing more amounts referring to an unspecified good and individuals who are sometimes (but not always) identified by their affiliation.
Despite the absence of any specific reference to the type of distribution, Gehlken (AUWE 5, p. 75) identifies this text as a record of monthly allotments of barley or dates.
