Paraphrase The document opens by listing three items, boat appurtenances, which are together valued (manû) at 1 mina of silver: a mounted canopy (maškanu šuršudu), sails (or screens?) (paruktu), and a leather canvas (kutummu ša maški). Then a boat (eleppu) is mentioned, whose price is calculated (manû) at  ½ mina of silver and in which A1, A2 and A3 have each a one-third share (šullultāti zittu). The remainder of the text is fragmentary: Nabû-uterri, slave (ardu) of A2, … from A2 ½ mina of silver … . The document was issued before (pāni) 5 individuals, without affiliation: B1-5, all judges in Babylon. Followed by the names of 2 scribes, also without affiliation: Nabû-kāṣir and Bēl-iddin.
