Family review. Dated.
The tablet lists all the family members of the farmers (ikkaru), including elders (šībūtu), adults (amēlu), young men and kids of different age.
The text is organised in three columns (without headings): in the first one there is the name of each individual (i), followed by his affiliation (ii) and the class he belongs to (iii). At the end of each group a subtotal provides the amount of members of each family. Groups are separated by horizontal lines.
The last extant line of the reverse provided a subtotal mentioning “the 10 (men under the authority of) Ibni-Ištar”.
Some of the names listed are:
obv. ii:
Ubāru/Aḫḫēšu
Balṭia/Aḫḫēšu
Silim-Bēl
Zēria
Balāṭu
rev. iii:
Nādinu
