Paraphrase
Sale of slaves.
A, of his own free will, sells his female slaves fC and her 3 months old daughter to B. fC is an Egyptian woman, part of his war booty. The total purchase price for her and her daughter is 2 minas of silver: D, no doubt acting as A’s proxy (although this is not explicitly stated in the text) receives (eṭēru) the silver from  B. D guarantees against (suits brought by) a person acting unlawfully (sēhû) or a person claiming (pāqirānu) that fC1 and her daughter are palace servant (arad ekalli) or free persons (mār bane). Names of 4 witnesses and the scribe.
 
A = Iddin-Nabû/Mušēzib-Bēl; B = Itti-Marduk-balāṭu/Nabû-ahhē-iddin//Egibi; fC = fNanāya-Ittia; D = Iddin-Bēl
