Paraphrase

List of silver expenditures (for rations?) to multiple recipients (workmen).

Fragment of a large tablet of which the beginning and the end are broken off.

The body of the text is organised in 3 columns without gridlines: first there is the amount of distributed silver (i), then the name of the recipient (ii) followed by his affiliation (iii). Some of the names mentioned are:

Nādin-aḫi, received 5 shekels/minas of silver

Kinūnāya, received 2 shekels/minas of silver

Individuals are grouped in work gangs, and at the end of each group one finds the formula “in total, n shekels/minas of silver, (to the workmen for which) PN is responsible (ša PN)”, and a horizontal line.
