B owes one sheep worth 1 ¼ shekels of silver to A. It is to be delivered (nadānu) in Simān (III). Two witnesses, including Gimillu/Marduk-šumu-ibni//Nappāḫu, and the scribe: Šamaš-zēru-ušabši/Balāṭu//Bāˀiru. A seal (bald figure facing left, left hand raised up before the face) is impressed twice on the lower obverse of the tablet; the impressions flank the drawing of a sheep.

A = Nabû-bān-zēri/Bēl-kāṣir//Nappāḫu; B = Lâbâši/Marduk-zēru-ibni//Nappāḫu
