Paraphrase
Receipt for silver from a dowry.
Concerns fC’s dowry (nudunnû). A, her father-in-law, receives (maḫāru) 24 minas of silver from B, her father, but the slaves (amīlūtu) and household utensils (udê bīti) are still to be delivered. There exist two documents (u’iltu) pertaining to this dowry-silver. There is also (elat) a document about a one-third share (šalšu zittu) that fC, the bride, has in her father’s property (nikkassu). The parties to the contract have taken one copy of the document each. Names of 4 witnesses and the scribe.
 
A = Nabû-ahhē-iddin/Šulāya//Egibi (bridegroom’s father); B = Iddin-Marduk/Iqīšāya//Nūr-Sîn (bride’s father); fC = fNuptāya/Iddin-Marduk//Nūr-Sîn (bride)
