Letter of Nādin-aḫi (Royal Supervisor of the Ebabbar of Larsa, qīpu) to Nādinu (/Bēl-aḫḫē-iqīša//Egibi) (temple scribe, ṭupšarru ša Eanna), “his brother”, requesting sheep for the regular offering for a month and informing him that there was an objection (ṭerdu) raised with regard to the lambs, so he did not select (parāsu) them (out of the other animals).
