Paraphrase: Promissory note for dates. Payment for a debt.
B₁ and B₂ owe 75 kor of dates to A, to be delivered in full in one instalment according to the creditor’s measure in Tašrīt (VII) of Cambyses’ 6^th year at the Ṭubašu-canal. The two debtors assume warranty for each other. The document continues by referring to a payment in silver (made by A on behalf of the debtors) to C, who is appointed over (ša muhhi ) the (yoke-) teams (ṣindu), for the(ir) obligation to provide military equipment (rikis qabli) in Cambyses' 5^th year. In addition, there is an earlier claim (rašûtu) against the same debtors for which their land in Bīt-Ṭabi and (their slave) D have been taken as pledged. Witnesses.
