A will receive full repayment (šalāmu) from his (=the debtor's) income from the šibšu-impost on land (ina šibši eqlišu). In addition (elat), there is a previous debt (u'iltu) of 245.3.0 kor of dates and 8.1.2 kor of barley, as well as a debt (u'iltu) of 50 shekels of silver and 44 bundles of onions, all credit claims (rašûtu) charged against B, for which his orchards (eqlu zaqpu) and grain fields (pî šulpi) have been taken as pledge.
