Renting of a boat to the head of the Egibi family.
A1 and A2 rent (ana idi nadānu) a boat to B for 1/3 minas of white, medium quality silver (as rent) and! 0;1.0 kor of flour for the (boat's) maintenance (kurummatu).

The text continues with stipulating what happens if the boat passes the fortress, but the pertinent passage is badly preserved.
