Let me seal and assign to you something of my prebend in return for the food and clothing that you gave to me!” Nabû-ahhē-šullim voluntarily sealed and assigned forever to Nabû-mukīn-zēri from his prebend: the 11th day of month nisannu (I) (and) the income of the 11th day, and the 12th day of month nisannu (I) and the income of the 12th day, and the 12th day of month tašrītu (VII). |
