Paraphrase
Inheritance transfer of property: A transfers (nadānu) 4 slaves (amēlūtu), a field (eqlu) and a house (bītu) to fB, his wife. The field actually comprises an orchard (kirû) along the Hiltu canal (ina muhhi nār hilti). fB will have the property at her disposal as long as she lives. Only when she dies, the property will be divided among C1, C2 and C3, presumably sons of A. Curses. The transaction is concluded in the presence of (ina ušuzzi) the governor (šākin ṭēmi) of Ur (Sîn-tabni-uṣur). 12 witnesses and the scribe.

A = Bēl-iqbi/Nabû-ahhē-ušallim; fB = Ṣarbû, wife of A; C1 = Sîn-ahu-iddin, son of A?; C2 = Rēmūtu, son of A?; C3 = Gula-balāssu-iqbi, son of A?; Scribe =Sîn-iddin/Sîn-ahu-šubši
