Paraphrase Promissory note for silver with antichretic pledge of slave. Fragmentary.
The upper half of the tablet is broken off. A broken amount of silver should be delivered in Ṭebēt (X) and its payment is secured by the pledge of the debtors' female slave (fC). No other creditor shall exercise any rights over her until A has received the full repayment of his silver, namely 30 shekels. The income from the slave's work pays for the interest (antichresis). Should the pledged slave go to another place, the debtors shall pay 0;0.3 kor barley on a daily basis to A as compensatory payment (mandattu) for his loss of income from the absent slave. The (indebted) silver is what has been paid for the rikis qabli that ... [broken off]. The names of witnesses and of the scribe are broken off.   

A = Iddin-Marduk/Iqīšāya//Nūr-Sîn; B1 = Arad-Bēl/...; B2 = …//Balāssu; fC = fKalbatu, slave of B
