Notes

A single column of Neo-Babylonian (school?) text, preserving the beginning of the obverse and the end of the reverse. The tablet has the size and shape of a Neo-Babylonian administrative text. The concluding catchline brings BM 47675 obv. 1. Thus, it is possible that the two tablets belong in a series written by the same author. Leichty et al. 2019, 646.

1 Oh diviner, in Ebiḫ, how did I issue to you the (divine) order?
