List of barley disbursements (for rations?) to multiple recipients. Fragmentary. Dated.
The tablet registers the distribution of 0;2 kor (c. 72 l) or 0;1 kor (c. 36 l.) (of barley): they are given (no verb) by the Eanna to no less than 7 individuals, likely as food rations (though the term kurummatu never appears), for the months Ṭebēt (X), Šabāṭ (XI), and possibly Addar (XII).
The recipients cannot be identified: only one reference to a “gardener” (nukaribbu) is extant, but in a broken context.
The three allotments recorded on the obverse of the tablet are deducted (ina libbi) from the share of Ardia, the “third man” (tašlīšu). One more ration listed on the reverse is said to have been deducted (ina libbi) from Nanāya-…’s share.
