They will give to fA1 4;2.3 kor (810 l) of dates, 1 takkašu loaf (ṣibtu ša takkaši), 2/3 of a vat (bītu) of billatu-beer and two shares (ahu) of vegetables (mašqu) from the mubannûtu-prebend and 0;0.1.1 kor (7 l) of sesame, 30 containers (kindu) of pressed sesame (kupsu) and 0;0.0.0.5 kor (½ l) of sesame oil from the prebend of the oil-presser.
