Multiple transactions of the same type: summary tablet listing expenditures (and possibly also incomes). Very fragmentary.

Fragment of a larger tablet that recorded different expenditures by the Eanna for the months Kislīm (IX) to Addar (XII) of Nebuchadnezzar’s 28th regnal year. The text opens with the distribution of silver to different individuals: 12 shekels to .../Nanāya-iddin, 3 ½ shekels to Tabnēa//Rab-banê (given) the 15th Addar (XII); 6 shekels to Nabû-zēru-iqīša/Nanāya-bān-… (given) the 17th Addar (XII); ¾ shekel, recipient not mentioned, given out as the price for 3 hides.

After a horizontal line, the text records that three individuals (Ina-tēšî-ēṭir, Amurru and Mukīn-Marduk) received (našû, Stat.) something – the object(s) is/are lost in a lacuna. Kabtia received(? verb lost) something on the 1st of Kislīm (IX). The following section refers to sesame: 4 measures (mašihu) (given to) Balāṭ-…, (taken) from (ina) the tithe (ešrû) [lacuna: that is charged against/at the disposal of?] Nanāya-aḫu-iddin. Bānia received (našû, wr. GIŠ) from (ultu) the storehouse (bīt karî) 4 (more) measures, on behalf of (ana muḫḫi) Balāṭu.

Such exchanges are said to have taken place on the 13th of Šabāṭ (XI). On the 17th day of a broken month of (Nebuchadnezzar’s) 28th regnal year Marduk-bēlšunu, the high priest (šatammu) received (našû, wr. GIŠ) from (ina) the (Eanna’s) property (makkūru) a broken amount of measures (mašīu) of sesame for (ina) the prebendary work (ūmu, lit. “days” of the bakers from Šabāṭ (XI) of the 28th year to … of the 29th year. Arad-Nabû received (našû, wr. GIŠ) 4 measures of sesame on behalf of (ana muḫḫi) …-Nabû, 16 on behalf of (ana muḫḫi) …, and 8 (on behalf of?) Bēl-uballiṭ/Ea-iddin, on the 13th Ṭebēt (X).

In the last, fragmentary lines only one name (.../Arad-Nanāya) and the term for “income” (irbu) are extant. Rest broken off.
