Paraphrase
Sale of a slave and receipt of the purchase price.
Three brothers, A1, A2, and A3, voluntarily sell their slave (C) to B for his harīṣ-price, 4 minas and 10 shekels of white medium quality silver, of which 1/8 is alloy. The sellers acknowledge their receipt (eṭēru) of the purchase price and guarantee against any challenger of the legality of the sale (sīhû), any claimant to a right of ownership over the slave (paqirānu), and any suit claiming the slave's semi-independent status (arad šarrūtimār banûti or šušanûti). Names of 4 witnesses and the scribe.

A1=Bēl-nādin-apli/Bēl-uballiṭ/Pahāru; A2=Nabû-iddin/Bēl-uballiṭ/Pahāru; A3=Na'id-Bēl /Bēl-uballiṭ/Pahāru; B=Marduk-nāṣir-apli/Itti-Marduk-balāṭu//Egibi; C=Nabû-silim, slave of A1-3
