- Paraphrase
Arad-Gula/Šamaš-iqīša (AG) <mār šipri of the šandabakku> owes (ina muḫḫi) 20;0 barley to Ninurta-aḫu-iddin/Ninurta-aḫu-šubši//Aba-Enlil-dārī (NAI). AG will pay the barley in Nippur, in m.III, in the measure (mašīḫu) of NAI.
3 witnesses and the scribe Enlil-zēru-līšir/Gimil-Ninurta.
The personal name Aba-Enlil-dārī, ancestor of NAI, is best known as the father the famous Aḫiqar, the umannu in the time of Esarhaddon in the Uruk list of kings and sages. Thus, this is a rather rare case of a “genuine” Nippurean family/clan name.
