The text records A’s testament. A, of his own free will (ina hūd libbišu), transmits under seal (kanāku - dagālu Š) his entire property (nikkassu) located inside and outside the city to his wife ^fB, C’s daughter. As long as his son D will live, he will enjoy the usufruct (akalu akālu) of A’s property together with ^fB. A also gives (nadānu) 2 sq. kor (c. 27000 m²) of arable land (zēru) and 5 slaves (amīlūtu) to F for ^fE('s dowry); moreover, he gives (nadānu) his daughter ^fG 1 kor (c. 13500 m²) of arable land (zēru) and 3 slaves (amīlūtu) (as dowry). ^fB, D, ^fE and ^fG will take (leqû) the inheritance (arkatu) together (ahameš). As long as A lives, his property (nikkassu) will be at his disposal. Names of 2 witnesses and the scribe: A.
