This text gives both the tasks to be performed at the harvest of sesame plants, and indicates the work-days necessary for the harvest at Irisaĝrig and at Anzagara. The craftsmen of Irisaĝrig, usually under their foremen Ku-elak[individual=Ku-elak], performed the task, since – as the text says – the gangs of worker’s did not go on military expedition, perhaps, because king Šu-Suen had died the month before.

The text indicates the days of work, and both the duration and the number of the workmen are not known. We follow Heimpel 2013: 203 who had proposed that a time period of 48 days gives the best results to obtain whole numbers of workmen, and thus the work-force includes 120 men (see the table below). This agrees with other numbers for the craftsmen under Ku-elak:

123 full-time plus 36 half-time workers in JAC 24 56 02;
52+ 27 in Nisaba 15/2 1007;
90 „single men“ in Nisaba 15/2 0999.

Nisaba 15/2 0552 adds another 736 man-days for the same year Šu-Suen 9; assuming the same time span of 48 days, this would add another 15.3 men to the workforce which thus accrues to c. 136 men(120 after Nisaba 15/2 0547 plus 15.3 after Nisaba 15/2 0552). Nisaba 15/2 0915 is partly in the same range of numbers as Nisaba 15/2 0547, but it includes significantly higher and lower numbers as well (see table below). Nisaba 15/2 0916 gives only the total of 2,682 workdays, about half the number of Nisaba 15/2 0547, but it seems to concern Irisaĝrig only, not Anzagara as well.

Sesame plants are „pulled out“ (lit. grasped, plucked)“ (ur₄)[glossary=ur₄] of the earth, then „bundled“ (tab)[glossary=tab] and placed in sheaves for ripening, and finally „hulled“ (ĝeš ra)[glossary=ĝeš ra]. The translation follows largely Heimpel 2013: 202-203. The last two terms correspond to the activities performed with grain. The harvested sesame is stored both in the capital Irisaĝrig and in Anzagara.

Table: Days of work for various craftsmen in ascending order, following Nisaba 15/2 0547 with an assumed duration of 48 days. Similar estimates can not be proposed for Nisaba 15/2 0915. Nisaba 15/2 0533 deals with the same group of people, but with construction work and is added for comparison.
