Interrogation (mašʾaltu) of Iddin-Tašpak/Ibni-Ištar (IT), during which he admits that he received 8 13/24 shekels of gold from workers (ṣābū) and gave it to other workers in exchange for silver. The High Priest (šatammu) and the scribes of Eanna asked him to state how much gold he had received from the workers and how much he had given to them.
IT responded that he had received 9/16 (1/2 shekel + 1/16) shekel of gold from Nabû-nāṣir/Aḫḫē-iddin, 3/4 shekel from Ina-tēšî-ēṭir/Ardia, 2 shekels from Bēl-aḫu-ušēbši/Nabû-iqīša in Babylon, and 1 shekel from Nabû-mukīn-zēri, the goldsmith.
Among the gold that he had given to the workers in exchange for silver, he stated that he had given 3 shekels of gold to Anu-aḫu-iddin/Mušēzib and 2 shekels of gold to Nabû-mušētiq-uddê/Šamaš-šumu-ibni.
