Paraphrase
Leasing of a slave or work contract: copy of a previous, fragmentary document.
This fragment of a tablet consists in a copy of a previous document, which was already in poor condition in antiquity: the scribe, in fact, indicates with the usual indication hepi the several gaps he found in the original tablet. A, baker (nuhatimmu) and B’s slave,  will perform (epēšu) the craft of the baker (nuhatimmūtu) with C, D’s slave.   He will deliver (nadānu) every day 30 loaves of bread, from an unknown day of Šabāṭ (XI) until . From the end of Addar (XII) to […] (broken off, large gap). In the final readable lines, it is stated that C will give (nadānu) the compensatory payment (mandattu) to B. Names of 2 witnesses and the scribe: Bēl-kāṣir/Rehētu/Isināya.
 
A = broken name, baker and slave of B; B = Iddin-Marduk/Iqīšāya//Nūr-Sîn; C = ...-ṣābit-qātia, slave of D; D = Iqīša-Marduk/Dābibi
