According to MVTV 12 206 of S 47 II, ten liters of flour was the flour ration in addition to the sixty-liter barley ration for "assistants, boatmen" (ses-tab-ba má-la h5), who were the kind of ...workers assigned to trips to Madga. According to MVN 16 676 and 745, the arrival of boats returning from Madga after a long, and potentially dangerous trip, was celebrated with an offering (si skur), and the workers were given bread, bear, and oil.31 Both texts have no month date. Since storage was part of his duties, he may have been responsible for issuing the linen, oil, and metal from a warehouse and the transfer to a boat going to Madga. According to AOAT 249 73* (BM 15362), dated to the same year and treating the same matter, the metal was destined for making axes of the type called ha-zi-in.38 CST 585, treated below under 8,22, records the expenditure of charcoal for casting such axes to be sent to Madga.
