Paraphrase

Tabulated list of workmen, with subtotals and a grand total. Fragmentary.

The tablet records in 2 columns no less than 35 men, listed with their names (i) and affiliations (ii) and grouped according to different work gangs (ṣābu). At the end of each group (the smallest one counting 5 men, the largest 8), the partial total and the names of the supervisors are given. The various groups are separated from each other by a LINE. The final total was possibly given on the lower edge, but the tablet is too broken to ensure a certain interpretation. On the basis of the onomastics, Gehlken suggests identifying the mentioned individuals with herdsmen.
