Paraphrase

List of barley disbursements (for rations?) to multiple recipients. Fragmentary.

The tablet lists in each line an amount (of barley) – mostly 1;1.4 kor (c. 140 l) but also 0;3.2 kor (c. 120 l.) and 6;3.2 (c. 1200 l) – distributed (no verb, or broken) to several individuals, recorded with their affiliations.

The first line of the tablet, which possibly represented its heading, is broken. At the end of the list, one final line gives the total amount of distributed barley, i.e. 25;1.4 kor (c. 4560 l). Rest broken off.
