Paraphrase

List of more than 200 sheep and goats. Some are given by Nabû-šumu-ibni to the fattening shed (bīt urê), some are his remainder (rēḫu), and others were delivered (maḫāru) by Nabû-šarru-ilāni. Aḫḫēšāya/[...] is mentioned in broken context. A total of 34 talents and 20 minas of wool (was weighed). The flock(s) show the typical ratio: most of the animals are ewes, many female lambs, some rams and male lambs, and a few goats.   

For further attestations for the herdsman (nāqidu) Aḫḫēšāya see Aarslev 2023: 319.
