Paraphrase

Tabular account for bird fatteners, including Lūṣi-ana-nūri, Nanāya-iddin, Nanāya-ēreš, and Eanna-ibni, for the period between the 2nd and 8th years of Cyrus.

Ducks, geese, and doves are listed, some of which were offered as gifts (lit. income, erbu), while others were brought from the Ekišnugal temple. At least some of the birds were intended for regular offerings in Eanna.
