Erm 14335

• si-U-NU — The precise meaning of this designation for the 50 persons is unclear; it may be a professional title, ethnic designation, or institutional category. The sign U within SI-U-NU is uncertain in reading.
• gab2-il2 — A type of fish or a profession connected with fish; the exact species or role is debated in the literature.
• szu-ku6 — Literally 'hand of the fish(-pond/fishery)' — conventionally interpreted as 'fisherman'; the compound is well-attested in Lagashite texts but nuances of the role vary.
• a-ses-ke4 — A personal or institutional name in the genitive; 'A-ses' could be a personal name or a place/institution. The -ke4 marks genitive-agent. Identity not firmly established.
• iti udu-sze3 — Literally 'month of sheep-grass' or 'the barley-month of sheep'; interpretation as a month name is standard for Early Dynastic Lagash calendars, but the precise equivalence to a month number is debated.
• e2-munus-a — Literally 'house of the woman' or 'women's house'; could refer to the gynaeceum of the palace, or a specific institutional household managed by the governor's wife.
• 3(|ASZxDISZ@t|) — The final notation — three tally marks — may indicate three entries, three tablets in a dossier, or a summary count. Interpretation as a tablet/dossier number is plausible but not certain.
• nu-banda3 — Conventionally rendered 'overseer' or 'commander'; in the Lagashite administrative hierarchy it sits below the ensi2 and above ordinary foremen. Exact functional scope varies by context.

The photograph shows a small, lenticular tablet (museum number 14335 is legible on the label in the top panel) photographed from multiple angles: obverse, reverse, top edge, and two sides. The obverse (second image in the composite) is the most legible face: several clear wedge clusters are visible, arranged in two column registers separated by a ruled line, with approximately six to seven lines per register. Individual sign clusters are discernible — the large numeric notation in the top-left register, what appear to be fish-determinative signs (KU6) in the upper right, and personal name signs further down. The reverse (bottom large image) shows fewer lines, with sign clusters visible on the lower half — consistent with the short seal phrase and governor-title lines of the transliteration. The left and right edge views show a small number of signs consistent with an edge notation or overflow line. Photo resolution is insufficient to verify each individual sign reading, but the overall layout (two-column obverse, short reverse, lenticular format) is fully consistent with a Girsu Early Dynastic administrative tablet of this type. The transliteration is accepted as the primary source; photo broadly confirms its structure without contradicting it. The reading 'bara2-nam-tar-ra' (Bara-nam-tara) as wife of Lugal-anda governor of Lagash is consistent with the well-documented archive of this couple from Girsu (cf. Bauer, Altsumerische Wirtschaftstexte). The sign kux(DU) for 'bring in / deliver' is standard in Lagashite administrative texts. Cannot verify the precise sign forms of '5(u@c) sag si-U-NU' and 'gab2-il2' from the photo at this resolution.
