Paraphrase Receipt of dates and barley by the head of the Egibi family. Partial repayment of a debt. Fragmentary.
The beginning of the document is broken. When the text becomes legible we hear about debts that were contracted to the debit of B (ina muhhi ~ e’elu). He owes 245.3.0 kor of dates and 8.1.2 kor of barley to A and 1/3 mina of silver to C, A’s slave. The current document records A’s receipt (mahāru) of part of this debt (ina libbi)* from B. The parties to the contract have taken one copy of the document each. Names of 3 witnesses. The remainder of the list of witnesses and the name of the scribe are broken off.

*Namely 58 kor of [...], x+1 kor of barley [...], and x x.
