Tablet No. 19 



An account concerning the delivery of 368 sheep and goats 

 by one Abbashagga, an employee whose name is mentioned more 

 frequently in the Drehem tablets than that of any other person. 

 The sheep and goats are (for sacrifice) on the 21st and 22nd of 

 the month Shuessha (December) ; for the 7th of "the month of 

 the great festival" (January) ; and for the l?th of "the month 

 of the feast of heaven" (February). The total number of sheep 

 and goats, namely 368, is written on the left edge of the reverse, 

 thus: (6X60) +8. This tablet is dated in the 8th year of the 

 reign of Bur-Sin, King of Ur (about 2212 B. C), and is unbaked. 

 Size: length 9.T centimeters, breadth 5.2 centimeters. It is said 

 by the dealer to have been found at Jokha, but both the names 

 of persons and of the months make it certain that this tablet is 

 from Drehem.
