Paraphrase

Single transaction with multiple entries: issue of comestibles. Fragmentary. Dated.

The tablet records the distribution (verb lost in a lacuna) of some measures (mašīḫu) of a non-specified good, likely sesame, by the Eanna to no less than 9 individuals.

On a prosopographical basis, these men can be identified as oilpressers (ṣāḫitu), though their job title is lost in a lacuna on the tablet.
