The text said that one of the shepherds (the head of them, maybe Bēl-nāṣir, mentionned at the end, or Kudurru, the first to be listed) weighed (ḫâṭu) 3 minas 20 shekels of silver for their food allocations (kurummatu) at 20 shekels of silver per man (amēlu), 2 minas for 2 donkeys (imēru) are at their disposal (ina pāni). The scribe list the total at the end: 5 minas 20 shekels silver.
