Paraphrase Security for a debt. Pledge of a house with antichresis.
The document concerns A’s house, which is currently pledged to B. He will enjoy the right of usufruct in lieu of interest (antichresis), but should repair the house. In Nisan (I), Tašrīt (VII) and Kislīm (IX) he will deliver 3 baskets of tābīlu-herbs. The fact that the house is now pledged to B does not effect the rental agreement with C who has been paying yearly 1/2 mina and 2 shekels of silver to D1 and D2, as rent for this house. B is entitled to receive this rent [...] from D1 and D2 for the 1st year. Names of 2 witnesses and the scribe.
 
A = Nabû-aplu-iddin/Balāṭu//Ša-nāšīšu; B = Nabû-ahhē-iddin/Šulāya//Egibi; C = Kuddāya; D1 = Nabû-mušētiq-uddê/Dayyān-Marduk//Mušēzib; D2 = Bēl-uballiṭ/Līširu//Šangû-parakki
