Paraphrase

Tabulated list of incoming livestock. Dated? (Npl or Nbk?)

Fragment of a tablet organised in tabular form with vertical and horizontal gridlines, but in poor status of preservation. The obverse is organised in at least 3 columns (headings lost): the first two provide numbers of bovines; the third column lists the herdsmen’s names. At the bottom of the chart, it is explained that these are the oxen (alpu) that were delivered by the herdsmen (nāqidu) (ina qātē abāku, but the verb is reconstructed), among them are:

Iqīšāya, Nabû-šumu-iddin, Gilūa, Bēl-ahhē-erība

On the reverse, more digits and names are recorded but the fragmentary status of the text does not allow any certain reconstruction.
