This tablet contains a record of shipments of onions by various persons, the totals of which are summed at the end of the text. Collection of onions at Nippur occurred under the auspices of an official who then redistributed them to various locations, including the king, the governor of the province, and the temple of the god Ninurta in Nippur. |
