Nūrēa, Eanna-līpī-uṣur, Kīnāya and Šamaš-aḫu-iddin withdrew (našû) 3 2/3 shekels of silver and 40 minas of wool, which are their salaries in kind for 3 months (m.X-m.XII). 3 (additional) minas (of wool) were withdrawn for (the purchase of) 2 leather bags/waterskins (nūṭu).

Niqūdu and Nanaya-ēreš, carriers of the royal shares in the offerings (ša kurummat šarri), (withdrew) 10 minas from their salaries in kind.

Balāṭu/Šūzubu, the ship-carpenter (naggār eleppi), (withdrew) 2 shekels of silver and 12 minas of wool – equaling 4 shekels of silver – from his wages (idu).
