A list of royal shares in the offerings (ša kurummat šarri) that were sent (abālu Š) to the king via (ina qāt) Nanaya-aḫu-iddin/Arrabu and Nādin-aḫi/Innin-zēru-ibni:
0;0.2 takkasû-bread, 2 akalu of oil, 5 qû Dilmun-dates; 1 qû beer of good quality, 2 breads, prepared (? tuqqunu, spelled tu9(túq)-uq-qu-nu) with salt, and mutāqu-cake(s), 5 pieces of sheepmeat: 2 cuts of the shoulder, 2 of the rump, and 1 of the rib, as well as 1 turtledove (sukannīnu) (…).
Note: the reading tuqqunu is uncertain owing to the rare value túq/tu9 and because the final nu rather looks like BAD. One might also read ku-uq-qu-bat and think of a possible plural of the word kukkub(b)u “a vessel used for offerings”; this is contextually and orthographically (k-q) challenging, too.
