Two brothers (B₁ and B₂) owe 16 2/3 minas and 4 shekels of white silver, of which 1/8 is alloy […] to A. The debt bears a yearly interest of 20% to be paid on a monthly basis. Payment is secured by the pledge of real estate and the fact that each one of the debtors assumes warranty for the other. The one who has silver available at the time of repayment should give it to cover the capital amount (qaqqadu) and its interest (hubullu). Pledged are: (1) the debtors' orchard (zēru zaqpu) on the road to Kiš next to C₁ and next to C₂. (2) their acreage (zēru) in Bīt-Hahhuru next to D₁ and next to D₂. No other creditor shall exercise any rights over the pledged objects until A has received full repayment of the capital amount and the interest. Names of 18 witnesses and the scribe.
