Paraphrase

List about spades which were withdrawn (našû) from Babylon and received (maḫāru) by Eanna: 1 from Nabû-ēreš/Aḫu-ēreš, 1 from Nergal-ušallim/Aḫu-ittabši (and) 1 from Eanna-līpī-uṣur/Upāqu. 1 remaining (rēḫu) spade is at the disposal of (ina pāni) the gardener Nadnāya/Bēl-ušēzib. The date formula lacks a royal name. 

Legacy Paraphrase

Multiple transactions of the same type: delivery of spades to the temple. Dated (no RN).

The Eanna temple received (maḫāru, Stat.) spades (marru) that were brought (našû, Stat.) from Babylon: 1 from A1, 1 from A2, and 1 from A3 (the verb, maḫāru, Stat., appears separately in each entry). 1 spade remains (rēḫi) at the disposal (ina pāni) of B, the gardener (nukaribbu).

 

A1= Nabû-ēreš/Aḫu-ēreš; A2= Nergal-ušallim/Aḫu-ittabši; A3= Eanna-līpi-uṣur/Upāqu; B= Nadnāya/Bēl-ušēzib, gardener (nukaribbu)
