Paraphrase
Promissory note for silver. Fixation of interest. Pledge. Fragmentary.
B owes a broken amount of silver to A on which he has to pay each month interest (20% on an annual basis). The remainder of the text is fragmentarily preserved. It refers to 7 1/6 shekels and some pledged property and a  woman (fC1) and a man (C2), followed by a reference to silver (at C2's disposal ?) which D, fC1's husband should give without further delay(*). Names of 3 witnesses and the scribe: …-šumu-ibni/Nabû-šumu-ukīn//Lē'i-bulluṭu-Marduk.
(*)Cf. CAD K, 387 reconstructs as follows: An object weighing 7 1/6 shekels (of gold) that seems to have been given as surety for the loan should be returned to the debtor in its sealed bag (kinku) so that the latter can hand it over to …(kî utirri inandin).
 
A = Itti-Marduk-balāṭu/Nabû-ahhē-iddin//Egibi; B = Mušēzib-Marduk/Nabû-zēru-bīti-līšir//Šullumunu; fC1 = fŠikkû/…//Dābibi; C2 = Tašmētu-damqat/…-ahhē-iddin; D = Mušēzib-Nabû, husband of fC1
