Hašdāya ({I}ḫaš?]-˹da?-a-a˺)/[…] and? Līšir owe (ina muḫḫi) 21;2.3 barley, 0;2.3 wheat, 1;1.4 emmer, which are the imposts (imittu) of the field of Nabû-balāssu-iqbi/Nabû-rēmanni the animal caretaker (šušānu).

They will deliver (nadānu) the 21;2.3 barley in month [x] in Nippur, including the ..., according to the standard sūtu-measure of Enlil.

Aramaic epigraph: of … barley 3 (˹zy˺ x [...] šˤ?rn 3)

The lack of clear link to animal husbandry, especially horses, and the link made between the šušānu and imittu impost, may be seen as a kind of a missing link in the transformation of the term šušānu from horse trainer to a dependent status. The first attestations of the latter, in the AY tablets, postdate the present tablet in about 15 years.

Hašdāya ({I}ḫaš?]-˹da?-a-a˺): the reading is highly speculative, given that only the very top of the suggested da sign actually survive.

The delivering clause must refer to the wheat and the emmer and not only to the barley. However, there does not seem to be enough space for a-di š[e.gig.ba u še.zíz ina giš.bán] in line 7.
