Baked bricks (agurru) that the people of Borsippa brought (qerēbu D) with rented boats:
4000 baked bricks of Iqīšāya/Aplāya//Arad-Nergal from the miḫir-Canal (nār miḫir, coll. M. Jursa).
4000 of Ṭābia (Ṭ), son of the Governor (šākin ṭēmi), from the Quay of Nabû (kār Nabû).
3104: Ṭ, from the upper gate, at his disposal (ina pāni).
From the Quay of Nabû to (…) at the disposal of Zēria/Būnānu, the responsibility (ana muḫḫi) of the house of Šulāya/Itti-Nabû-balāṭu, from below the Nār-bitqu Canal (coll. M. Jursa).
6000 of Ṭ from below the Nār-bitqu Canal (coll. M. Jursa).
In total: 24100 (!) baked bricks of m.XIIb and m.I (of the following year) were brought for the work (ana dullu) (on) the ziggurat of Ezida by Nabû-ṣābit-qātē, Na’id-Ištar, Gimillu and Nabû-zēru-iddin, together with Dāda, the messenger of Arrabu.
Note 1: The assignment of this text to the Eanna archive is not completely certain, but very likely (see Kleber 2008, p. 163 n.463).
Note 2: The grand total is not correct. It may be possible the scribe also included the first signs of the first two lines (which don’t record quantities of bricks) in his final calculation by mistake.
