These dates are the property (makkūru) of the Lady of Uruk and Nanāya and pertains to the fixed rent (sūtu) due to Šumu-ukīn/Bēl-zēri//Basia and Kalbāya/Iqīša, the rent farmers (ša muḫḫi sūti) (who had leased the license to collect rent on behalf of the temple). ŠE will deliver the dates in m.VII using the mašīḫu-measure of the Lady of Uruk.
