Paraphrase
Sale of slaves.
A, of his own free will, sells his female slaves fC1, fC2, and fC3 to B for a total price amounting to 2 2/3 minas of silver. One of the slaves, fC3, is an unweaned infant (ēniqu) and fC2’s daughter. A guarantees against (suits brought by) a person acting unlawfully (sēhû) or a person claiming (pāqirānu) that these female slaves are free persons (mār banê). The seller acknowledges that he has received (eṭēru) the total purchase price from B. Names of 3 witnesses and the scribe.
