Paraphrase: Receipt of silver. House rent.
A₁ and C’s slave ^fA₂receive (mahāru, verb reconstructed) from B₁ and B₂ by order of (ina našparti) C 11 shekels of stamped(?) silver (ginnu). The silver is the payment of the rent for D's house (? reconstructed) for the first half (rēš šatti) of Darius' 10^th or 11^th year. They (?) guarantee (pūtu našû) for the payment (?) of the silver that is due from C. The parties have each taken a copy of this document. Names of 4 witnesses and the scribe: Nidinti-Bēl//Nādin-še'im.
See also the house rental contract: BM31182 (Camb. 182) and 2 other receipts: BM 33560 (Dar. 424) and BM31032 (Camb. 253).
Note a different interpretation of this tablet on Achemenet due to the reading of rīmūtu instead of rēš šatti in line 2 and of rašûtu instead of našpartu in line 3. As such the silver is decribed as a gift (rīmūtu) of the 11^th year of D and as a claim (rašûtu) of C.

A₁= Nidintu-Bēl/Damqia//Nādin-še’i; ^fA₂= Šēpet-Bēl-aṣbat, slave of C; B₁= Bēl-uballiṭ; B₂= Nidintu/Arad-Bēl//Šumu-libši; C = Marduk-nāṣir-apli; D = Nabû-zēru-ibni/Itti-Nabû-balaṭu//Egibi
