- Legacy Paraphrase
Single(?) transaction: a delivery of gold items to the temple. Dated.
The Eanna temple received (maḫāru, Stat.) 9¼ shekels of gold … the crossbeam of the Divine Lion-centaurs (Urmaḫlûlu) from A1 and A2, the goldsmiths (kutimmu).
The second part is fragmentary and it is unclear whether it refers to the same gold: from the ½ mina of gold of the qullu-ring, …10 shekels …
A1= Bēl-ibni (/Nādin//Bābūtu), goldsmith (kutimmu), see Payne 2007: 235f.; A2= Ištar-šumu-ibni (/Nabû-šumu-ukīn//Ea-kurbanni), goldsmith (kutimmu), see Payne 2007: 240
