Paraphrase

Fragmentary list of 2 or more flocks of sheep and goats. Their herdsmen are [...]/Bānītušu?, [...]/Balāssu (or: Balāssu/...?), Īnī-’il/... (I.gab ta e). The numbers of the animals are for the most part not preserved. Payments or deficiencies in wool are mentioned. Some of the animals go to the fattening shed (urê).

Either the flocks are put at the disposal of the herdsmen, or this in an inventory; for this type of text and its dating in the Neo-Babylonian period see Aarslev 2023: 35-39.
