| Paraphrase | Division of shares in a business company and interim account of its assets. A , his brothers and B divide among them the arable land planted with date palms and cultivated with grain located at the outlet (bābu) of Borsippa canal next to [PN and PN]. A and his brothers will get 1 kor, and B will get 1 kor. The attribution of the shares (zittu ṣabātu) will be decided by casting lots (pūru maqātu, lit. (where) the lot falls”). Also the slaves will be divided in this way: C and fD at the first casting, and E and fF and the second. Certain assets will not be divide but remain in the business account: it concerns the female slave fG , 25 shekels, and the silver needed to purchase 4 slaves from H. The same is true for the following assets: 200 vats filled with first quality (rēštu) and full-strength beer (ṭābu), 20 empty vats, 10 fermenting vats (namzītu) with stands (namharu), 90 kor of dates still at the depot (kalakku), 15 kor of sifted (nahlutu) mustard-seeds, and 14 animals from the flock (ṣēnu) . Excluded from the above (elat) are: still outstanding credits or claims (lit. “promissory notes of the street”, sūqu), and everything that B plans to undertake (hasāsu). In order to avoid any further changes in the above agreement, each of the partners has taken a copy of the present document. Names of 5 witnesses and the scribe.
