Commentary
This text registers 20 litres of „butter“ (i3-nun) and 30 litres of „sour milk cheese“ (ga-murub4) as the delivery quota of dairy products from 4 „adult cows“ (ab2 maḫ2). This corresponds precisely to the rate of 5 litres of „butter“ (i3-nun) and 7.5 litres of „sour milk cheese“ (ga-murub4) per „adult cow“ (ab2 maḫ2) per year. The text does not explicitly indicates the annual character of the delivery quotas. However, these amounts correspond precisely to the yearly delivery quotas attested in other Umma sources (see the following table 1).
