Paraphrase Receipt for forced labourers.
A receives (mahāru) 2 forced labourers (urāšu) from B. They are to do the earthwork (dullu epiri) that C, B's son-in-law, is supposed to do (ša C) from Arahsamna (VIII) till the end of Nisan (I) of Nabonidus’ 13thsic?! year. The document is written on the 9th day of Arahsamna (VIII) of Nabonidus’ 12thsic?! year, which means that the labourers will start working only in another year time (unless there is an error in the copy, and they are to start immediately). Names of 3 witnesses and the scribe: Arad-Marduk/Kittia//Šangû-Ea.
 
A =…-ušallim/Apkallu//Mušēzib; B = Itti-Marduk-balāṭu/Nabû-ahhē-iddin//Egibi; C = Iddin-Marduk/Iqīšāya//Nūr-Sîn
