Transaction regarding the temple and a private individual regarding the obligations of several bird catchers. Dialogue document.
A asks (qabû) B1, the royal resident (qīpu) of Ebabbar and B2, the chief priest (šangû) of Sippar to give him (nadānu, bīnamma) 5 fowlers (usandû): C1, C2, C3, C4, and C5. In return, he will provide the temple yearly with the 70 [geese] and 525 turtledoves (sukkannīnu) for the daily offerings (sattukku) that the fowlers had to pay as part of (ina) their iškaru-obligation of Šamaš.
B1 and B2 agree (šemû, lit. listen) and so Lābâši is now responsible (ana muhhi dagālu) for the fowlers’ iškaru-obligation (and they will work for him).
