In addition to the tablets which record offerings made to the major deities in the Ningal-temple during festivals, there are a few which similarly mention one of the minor deities, Ningal-á-anda, who was sometimes omitted from the previous lists (IV(d)). It would be interesting to discover how far these gifts were consumed by the priests themselves, as in the Old Testament ritual, and to what extent they might have sufficed for their maintenance. Unfortunately however, as we lack specific reference to the recipients and are unable to equate ancient values with a modern standard, we cannot solve this problem. The six tablets of group Vb are all very much alike. They first list butter, cheese, and dates as daily offerings and the same in smaller quantities as monthly special ones; an example is No. 58. The other documents combine these two chief issues (with figures correcdy increased); even No. 59, on which níg-díb-itu-da is omitted, is no exception since the figures show that both kinds are included. Often še-zibib and lubricating oil are added, and once (on No. 59) milk.
