In this study, three cuneiform texts of the third dynasty of Ur, which are preserved in the Sulaimani Museum, are recorded in Nippur. Through reading and publishing these texts, we will become familiar with the food distribution system and part of human life and state administration in Neppur to see how the management of resources and the amount of food considered good for an individual is distributed.
