Text edited by Laursen/Steinkeller 2017: 82 (1). Steinkeller’s dating to the „reign of Sargon“ is based only on the occurrence of an „expedition“ (ĝiri3-ĝen-na). However, this argument is not conclusive, since „expeditions“ happened more often during the Sargonic period, whereas the prosopographical dating to the Middle Sargonic archive (see below on o.2–3) is irrefutable.

o.2-3: The Storehouse (e2-niĝ2-gur11) is a central element in the administration of the governor’s palace at Adab (Molina 2014: 34-35); the individual Muni was in charge of many of its transactions (Molina 2014: 77 ad no. 31 r.7′).
r.1: On ĝiri3-ĝen-na „expedition, journey“, in the MS Sargonic texts from Adab see Molina 2014: 84.
