Administrative record of transfer. Dated.

Single transaction: receipt for a payment for a house.*

The Eanna temple took (našû, Stat.) from (ina qātē) A 6 minas 3 shekel of silver. This is the price (mahīru) of B’s house, which is next to C’s house. Transaction related to B’s failed rent farm and the temple’s attempts to recorver some of B’s arrears.

* A later text, AnOr 8, 70 (3 Camb) shows that the transaction recorded in the present text was not actually concluded. The price had never been paid. For B’s career see Janković/Hackl/Jursa 2011 and Janković 2013.

 

A= Šadûnu/Nabû-šumu-līšir; B= Šumu-ukīn/Bēl-zēri (//Basia), known as a royal supervisor and a rent farmer (see Janković/Hackl/Jursa 2011); C= Ibnāya/Nadnāya
