List of dates delivered by a single individual. Dated.

The tablet lists the dates that A, a known ploughman, delivered (nadānu) (to the Eanna temple) following (arki) the settling of (his) account (epēš nikkassi) on the 11th of Kislīm (IX) 6 Camb:

100 kor for (ina) the salaries (kurrummatu) of the temple-serfs (širku) (of) B1; 20 kor for the prebendary payments (maššartu) of B2; 30 kor for the salaries of the temple-serfs (of) B3; 5 kor (for) B4, the bronze smith (napaḫ siparri); x kor (for) B5, the bronze smith; 5 kor (for) B6, the launderer (pūṣāya); 17;1.2 kor (for) B7, the cattle fidder (mušākil alpi) of the royal oxen; 17;2.3 kor (for) the transportation costs (gimru) of 50 kur of dates which were given (nadānu) for salaries and prebendary payments, at the rate of (ina) x per 1 kor.

Total 190;3.5* kor of dates … were paid (eṭēru).

 

* Note that the tally seems to be too low.
