Thus, the creditor does not have to pay house rent. Apart from this silver debt, A may not give silver to B without informing B’s brother (D), otherwise he will lose that silver. Furthermore, A should not leave the house without D’s permission. Names of 4 witnesses and in the presence (ina ašābi) of B’s mother. Scribe's name: Šumu-iškun/Nergal-ašarēdu//Rē'i-sīsê
