- Promissory note for silver. Payment for a debt. Pledge of slaves and family members
B owes 59 shekels of silver to A. The payment is secured by the pledge of three of the debtor’s slaves: fC1, fC2, her 13-years old daughter, and her unnamed 6-months old son. The document mentions that B bought these slaves from D. There follows a badly preserved passage which seems to imply that the seller ordered the buyer to pay the purchase price to one of his creditors (i.c., A), and that this should happen in two payments (one of 55 shekels and one of 4 shekels) before the end of Abu (V) (i.e., next month). Should B fail to meet the deadline and A's claim is not secured by the pledged slaves, he should pay A the full 59 shekels of silver.
