Paraphrase
Receipt for onions.
Concerns the receipt of the purchase price for onions which A sold to B.
The beginning of the tablet is badly preserved but refers to a broken amount of onions, a slave, and the xth year of Cyrus. It then continues by stating that 5,000 bundles belong to D, thus resulting in a total of 42,000 bundles of onions for the 5th year of Cyrus. C, slave of B, received them from A’s messenger. In the present document A receives the silver for the sale of these 42,000 bundles of onions from the buyer (B) and is paid off. This does not include the 48,000 bundles of onions, which a man whose name is broken off* will deliver to B in Simān (III) of the xth year of Cyrus. Besides this there exists an earlier claim by B (against the same person). Names of 2 witnesses and the scribe.
*Perhaps again A or his messenger?
 
A = Nergal-ahu-iddin; B = Iddin-Marduk/Iqīšāya//Nūr-Sîn; C = Madān-bēl-uṣur, slave of B; D = Nergal-ēṭir
