Paraphrase Loan of silver: B owes A 2/3 mina of silver without interest (qaqqadu) of a business partnership. The debt is free of interest (hubuttūtu) until the midst of Nisān (I) of the following year (Ššu 19). If B fails to pay by then, the amount of silver will be added to the sum A invested in the same business partnership (harrānu). 1 square kor of arable land (zēru) of B, located beneath the Canal (harru) of Ahhē-šullim, as well as 294+ square cubits (c. 73.5 m2) of the house of B are placed as a pledge. 3 witnesses (including Nabû-gāmil and his son Nādinu of the Ṭābihu family) and the scribe.
