Paraphrase

List of workmen and their supervisors (decuries). Fragmentary.

The tablet records at least 2 groups of men, listed with their names and affiliations. Its beginning and end are broken off. At the end of each group, a line of text gives the subtotal (amounting always to 10) and the name of the man in charge (ša qātē PN), meaning “decury of Mr-so-and-so”. The decuries are separated by a horizontal line. On the reverse, the affiliation is in 4 instances replaced by the expression “ditto”.

Some of the names listed are:

obv.: Ša-Nabû-šalim, Amīl-Nanāya, Nanāya-iddin, Zērūtu/Arrabu, Eanna-ibni/Nabû-zēru-iddin, Libluṭ, Amīl-Nanāya/Ḫašdia
