Paraphrase

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

The tablet registers in an organised way the distribution of something (likely barley) to several individuals. The text, whose first lines are broken thus preventing us from knowing if there was a heading or an introductory statement, is arranged in 3 columns: the first 2 had numbers (almost all the digits are lost) and in the third there were the details of each recipient. Moreover, the entries were separated by a horizontal line.

The named men are listed with their affiliation and the indication of their job: only the terms for bleacher (pūṣayu), royal resident (qīpu) and boatman (mallāḫu) are preserved.

According to 2 entries, the commodities are given out for the month of Simān (III). The lower part of the tablet is broken off.
