Literature
«Relatively few tablets from the reign of Ibbi-Sîn, the last king of the third Dynasty of Ur, have been published, and as a meticulous record of the herds under government supervision at the time, this an important document.
It lists the number of animals in each of the twenty-one herds run by a named herder, giving details of the type, cattle and donkeys, by age and other features. There are also summaries of each kind and type of animal. Attention is also given to those then 'present', those 'dropped out' (dead by disease or wild animal attacks), and to those recently arrived from another named person.»
