Let me perform your prebendary service, on which I will not place a cessation and I will not miss a transfer deadline, and I will pay anything which they give to the performer of the service to you, the owner of the prebend, and I will give you for all eššēššu offerings of the year, from Nisannu to Tašritu, two butcher's cuts, two head-cuts, four ankle cuts, and four cuts from the allocated meat, and ten bull cuts, everything which pertains, from Tašritu up to and not including Nisannu, and I will give you yearly one skin in Simanu and one skin in Kislimu, and anything which pertains to you from the provisions of the gods."
