Paraphrase Court protocol. Fragmentary.
A1 and A2 said thus to the judges of Nabonidus: "In Neriglissar’s 2nd regnal year, our mother fB has handed over (dagālu Š) to us […] and fC, a slave who was part of her dowry (ardu ša nudunnê), by means of a sealed document. One year later, of her own free will (ina migir libbišu), she has also (given to us?) 2;2 square kor (c. 32400 m2) of land which the royal scribes had transferred to her (dagālu Š) as countervalue of her dowry (kūm nudunnê). They wrote in her document: ‘Whoever among her sons will not respect (palāhu) her, will not receive his inheritance share’. […] D […]”. The final lines of the two sons’ speech is lost, as well as the following section of the text which must have included the judgement. The few words that are extant mention a purchase price (šīmu), a sealed document written by fB, something that is registered (uzuzzu Š) on tablets, as well as the receiving of the judges’ verdict (dīnu). After another mention of A1’s and A2’s names, the text breaks off. Names of 5 judges and 2 scribes.
