Paraphrase

5 old ewes, which were given (nadānu) for 5 shekels silver to Nabû-zēru-ibni/Balāssu, haven been received (maḫāru). Remaining details broken.

Legacy Paraphrase

Single transaction: delivery of a ewe to the temple. Dated.

The Eanna temple(?) received (maḫāru, Stat.) from A a 5 years old ewe (laḫru, wr. u8.sal.al), which B bought for 5 shekels of silver.

The rest, apart from the date, is fragmentary. The broken lines contained the name of the deliverer, as well as additional unclear clause.

 

A= […]; B= Nabû-zēru-ibni/Balāssu
