(Bestowed upon / offered) …. to God (of) Nanna by the  Du’…um’s son…-e”.
(Translated by V. Donbaz)

It is uncertain by whom (king, ruler of s city-state, governor and high military officials and priests) and for what purpose this votive cup and inscription were offered. The inscription suggests that it may have been offered as votive by a statesman of the period to ask for kindness and help from the gods.
