Paraphrase Document concerning division of inheritance [damaged]: The fragmentary state of the tablet precludes an exact understanding of its terms. The text deals with the division of B’s inheritance among A1, A2 and A3. The text seems to be mostly concerned with outstanding promissory notes (uˀiltu). In this context also C is mentioned. The tablet breaks off after the mention of a bed (eršu) and a brazier (mušahhinu). No witnesses or scribe extant.
 
A1 = Bēl-ahhē-erība/Nabû-balāssu-iqbi//Nappāhu (son of B); A2 = Iqīša-Marduk/Nabû-balāssu-iqbi//Nappāhu (son of B); A3 = Bēl-ēṭir/Nabû-balāssu-iqbi//Nappāhu (son of B); B = Nabû-balāssu-iqbi/Mušallim-Marduk//Nappāhu; C = Bēl-ahhē-iqīša
