Notion de poids correct

For a discussion of the terminology used when weighing metals, see 3.2. This text demonstrates an effort to resolve conflicting information when accounting for a particular quantity of gold. On the obverse, the weights on record for three sources of gold are given; on the reverse, however, a discrepancy of 1 1/4 shekels is found when this same quantity of gold is actually weighed. Nevertheless, this sum is issued (as stock) to the smith.

“2 minas 12 1/2 shekels of gold are the stock (⁄å†u). From this, 1 mina 58 shekels are (from) the makkasu-vessel that came from the cella, 11 shekels are (from) the income of month XII and 3 1/2 shekels are from storage. 2 minas 11 1/4 shekels of gold, (the weight) according to the correct weight and the bronze lion (weight), are at the disposal of *B™l-ibni / *Nabû-z™ru-ibni for the makkasu-vessel of B™ltia.
