- Description
- Clay tablet no. 1 (about 1 ½ x 1 ½ x ½”): “Found at Drehem, a suburb of Nippur, where there was a receiving station for the temple of Bel. This is a receipt for the delivery of 10 fat oxen, 88 sheep and 12 large goats on the 21st day of the month. On one edge of the tablet is written ‘10 oxen, 100 sheep,’ the total number of the animals. Sheep and goats always figure as sheep in the total number. The two lines on the back or rounded side contain the date, which is during the early part of the Ur dynasty of kings, 2400-2100 B.C., or about 2350 B.C.” (seller's description).
