Promissory note for revenue from impost on land, to be delivered in dates.
B owes 46 kor of dates to fA, revenue from the impost for Cyrus 3rd year on land (imittu) located above (eli) the New Canal. He should deliver the dates in one payment according to the 36 liters measure at the New Canal. Delivery is due in Arahsamna (VIII). He should also deliver the usual by products of the date cultivation: for each kor of dates he shall give (the customary amounts of) spathes (tuhallu), spadices (gipû), and fibres (mangagu), a load of firewood, 1 darīku-container, and (dates for) the šugarrû-supplement. In addition, there is a promissory note for impost (imittu) to be delivered in dates from land below (šupālu) the New Canal. The gardener (nukarribu) has not received (eṭēru G Stat. sg.) a remuneration for the work (šissinnu) above (eli) and below (šupālu) the New Canal.
