Paraphrase

More than 500 sheep and goats are put at the disposal (ina pāni) of Nabû-aḫu-ēreš/Nabû-iddin. Some animals are (already?) at his disposal (or: for his own use?). The flock consists predominantely of sheep. Except for two he-goats, the prewritten entries for goats contain no numbers. With regard to sheep, the flock shows the typical ratio: most of the animals are ewes, many female lambs, some rams and male lambs. 

The herdsman Nabû-aḫu-ēreš/Nabû-iddin is also attested in CD 24; see Aarslev 2023: 315.
