Early Old Babylonian royal inscription by Sîn-kāšid; Montserrat Museum, MM 710-8.
This cone dating to the Early Old Babylonian period (ca. 2000-1900 BC) commemorates the building of a temple for god Lugalbanda and his spouse Ninsun by Sîn-kāšid, king of Uruk and king of Amnanum. The inscription contains an interesting reference to the silver equivalencies at that time: In his period of kingship, according to the market value of his land, 3 kor of barley, 12 minas of wool, 10 minas of copper, 3 ban of vegetable oil cost one shekel of silver.
