Paraphrase Sale of a slave.
A, of his own free will, sells his female slave fC to B. The total purchase price amounts to 1 1/3 mina and 5 shekels of silver. The remainder of the text is broken off, including the list of witnesses and the scribe's name. A short remark after the date and place of issue points out that A's name is written (šaṭāru) on the slave's wrist(?) in cuneiform and alphabetic script (akkādîtu u ahlamāti). See also Liv019.
 
A = Itti-Marduk-balāṭu/Nabû-ahhē-iddin//Egibi; B = Marduk-ahu-uṣur/Šilāya; fC = fMiṣatu
