1. 5(disz)# hu-pu 2(disz)? hi-zi-bu _kasz-gesztin_ i-na _iti sag-mu_
en: 5 huppu, 2? hizzibu jars of wine in month “sagmu;”
2. 8(disz@v) hi-zi-bu _kasz-gesztin_ i-na _iti ni-qa-li_
en: 8 hizzibu jars of wine in month “Niqali;”
3. _szu-nigin2_ 10(disz@v) hu-pu _kasz-gesztin_
en: total: 10 huppu jars of wine
emendations in line 1 are an attempt to give relationship 2 hizzibu = 1 huppu; alternatively with comment to this text RAE 364, 4 huppu 4! hizzibu + 8 hizzibu = 8! huppu or 3 hizzibu = 1 huppu; RAE 274 and perhaps others would seem to support 4 hizzibu = 1 hupu, all assuming huppu and hizzibu stand in a metrologically meaningful relationship
4. a-na _dingir-mesz szum2_-nu#
en: given to the gods.
