Paraphrase
About onions, income from the impost on land. Share of the Treasurer.
The document probably records the receipt of 70 bundles of onions although the verb of receipt is not preserved. The onions are the income from the šibšu-impost on land (šibši eqli). It is the 1/3 share (zittu šalšu) of C, the Chief Treasurer (rab kāṣiri), and was received by one of his slaves (A1), who actually acted as proxy (našpartu) for another of his slaves (A2), from B1 and B2. Names of 3 witnesses and the scribe.

A1=Bēl-ēṭir, slave of C; A2=...-ia, slave of C; B1=...šarru-uṣur; B2=Talīmu.../Hāziru; C=Bagasarū, (rab kāṣiri)
