Account of gold handed out as working material to craftsmen. Itemization: 2 ¼ gold designated as income (erbu) from the kusītu-boat;
3 ¼ shekels of gold bought from (našû ina qāt) Nabû-ušēzib, the chief of the gate (rab bābi), for silver;
3 shekels, designated as erbu of Šamaš-aḫu-iddin, the Governor (bēl pīḫāti);
11 ¾ shekels of gold that were removed (paṭāru) from the kirītu-ornaments of the necklace (gú = kišādu) of unworked stones (kù.pad.du = šibirtu) of the Lady of Uruk;
a total of 20 shekels of gold is placed at the disposal (ina pāni) of Bēl-ibni and Ištar-šumu-ibni, for the cordings (guḫalṣu) of the pectorals (gaba = irtu) of Aya and the Daughters of Ebabbar (Mārāt-Ebabbar). These men can be identified as goldsmiths (kutimmu).
