Administrative record of transfer. Dated.

Single transaction with multiple entries: delivery of iron tools by two smiths to the temple and balance of remaining iron.

The Eanna temple received (mahāru, Stat.) the following processed (gamru) tools: 10 lances (azmarû) at 4 minas 20 shekels (of iron) from A1, the blacksmith (nappāhu), and 2 lances, at ⅔ minas 6 shekels from A2. Additionally, 5 minas (of iron) are still outstanding (uhhuru) from A3.

 

A1= Ḫašdāya, blacksmith (nappāhu), see Payne 2007 (PhD diss.), 304; A2= Ibni-Ištar/Bēl-upahhir (/Nagāru), a known blacksmith and probably a temple enterer, see Payne 2007 (PhD diss.), 305; A3= Innin-zēru-iddin/Zērūtu
