Paraphrase Allocation of an inheritance share. Very fragmentary.
A receives(?) (The verb is lost in a lacuna) one slave, C3, together with 1/2 mina of silver instead of his fourth-share in the inheritance from B, his elder brother. The slave is one out of a group of six, mentioned in the opening lines: C1 and his wife fC2, together with their son C3 and still nursing (ša šizib) daughter fC4, C5 and fC6: in total 6 slaves (amīlūtu). Rest broken off. Names of 4+ witnesses and the scribe: Itti-Nabû-balāṭu/Marduk-šumu-uṣur//Nappāhu. At the end of the tablet it is pointed out that the text has been written in order to avoid that changes (to the inheritance division) be made (ana lā enê), and that the parties have taken one copy of the document each.
