A large Tribute Animal Center by the name of E-Puzrish-Dagan, "the office of Puziris-Dagan", which is now the Drehem site in Iraq, was built by the king Sulgi of Ur-III dynasty in the 39th year of his reign. It was one of the earliest and largest animal centers all through the ancient Mesopotamia, and played an immense role in the economy of Ur-III dynasty. The location of E-Puzrish-Dagan was very near to Nippur and Tummal, who ship centers of Enlil and Ninlil, King and Queen of deities, therefore was elected as the place of the Royal Animal Center, because it was convenient for manage the number of animals of the Tribute Animal Center grow increase with each passing day, it also would be convenient for the royal families and nobles to offer sacrifices to deities of Nippur and used for the diplomatic activity.

We find that In-ta-e-a’s title is scribe (dub-sar), in his own seal. In-ta-e-a received (i-dab5) all the deliveries (mu-tum) from individuals to the Center and withdrawn (ba-zi/zi-ga) some of deliveries to the deities in Nippur and e-uz-ga of the Royal Dinnng Hall. He also transferred some oxen and flocks to other officials of the Center to manage.
