NOTES
This is part of a list of grain offering (sá -dull su-a gi-na) for 12 deities. It was part of a larger tablet, with the edges having been purposefully cut off and the edges smoothed. The tablet has small fine writing, with 2 columns each side and a total of 109 lines. On column iii, lines 17-21 state: "sá-dull dingir-re-ne / 1800 se-gur / 40 gig gur / sà-gal-màs-anse/ sà-na-ga-ab-tùm". The 12 deities are: dSIG7 (Imma) --danzu musen-UD.UD, dSIG7-ki-an-ki, nin-tuk? xx mas, dnin-ri-unu-ki, dnin-urta-gal, dAB x HA-GIS.ÙH-ki, dnin-du6-du-e, dlama-lugal-danzu musen-UD.UD, den-lil, ddumu-zi-da-x-a-bi, dli-si4. This is followed by amounts of grain for the drink of the king, the asses, rations for the boatmen, the "ma-lah4-sà", for a diviner, for the man of Zimad. Each is noted as being "kísib" (PN), or a "professional name"
