Content

Paraphrase

Memorandum: list of witnesses(?). Very fragmentary. Dated.

On the obverse only the names and affiliations of 6 individuals are extant:

Mušallim-Marduk

Nādinu

Šarēdu

Kidinnu

On the reverse, a note written after the date specifies the nature of the text itself. The tablet represents a memorandum, written not to forget (taẖsistu ana la mašê).

Gehlken suggests that the named individuals on the obverse were present at a legal declaration, the content of which is now lost due to the tablet’s fragmentary state of preservation.
