Content
- Paraphrase
Single transaction with multiple entries: issue of dates for rations. Very fragmentary. Dated.
Fragment of a tablet that records the distribution of dates to multiple individuals, who are labelled as bakers (nuḫattimu). The first line of the obverse must have served as heading and it was separated from the rest of the text by a horizontal line; now, only the word “dates” can still be read, any other information written at the beginning of the line is lost in a lacuna. The text continues with a list of no less than 8 individuals who received (našû, wr. GIŠ) the allotted dates. On the reverse, more personal names are listed with the indication that the record refers to rations (kurummatu) for the month(s?) m.IV and/till(?) m.VI.
Note that the document is dated in the month m.V.
