Paraphrase Plan of uban plot (damaged): The obverse speaks about measurements (mišhatu, meš-ha-at) of a plot of land near the Zababa Gate. A is mentioned. 2 2/3 shekels of silver are the price of excess sq. r. The reverse gives the ground plan of the plot with the south end, i.e. the right side of the tablet, damaged. The north end, whose upper side measures 15 ⌈5/6⌉(?) ammatu, borders on the house of B1; the western end, whose lower side measures ⌈16 2/3⌉(?) ammatu, borders on the house of B2; and the eastern end, whose upper side measures 16 ammatu, borders on a narrow through-street (sūqu qaṭnu āṣû). The total area amounts to 5;0.1.(13 ½) sq.r (ca. 64 m²) (possibly connected to BM92796 and VAT384).
