Paraphrase
Purchase of wasteland: A purchases wasteland (eqlu kišubbû) for 10 shekels of silver from B2, who acts on behalf of the wife of the deceased B1. The sold land is located in the district (erṣetu) of the Gate of LUGAL.GU(D).SI.SÁ inside of Nippur. Its upper side (in the north) borders on a house of A and its upper front (in the west) on the house of C. Its lower side (in the south) and its lower front (in the east) border on the plot of land within a measured area (libbū eqli). It measures 31 x 2 cubits (15.5 x 1 m). 13 witnesses and the scribe, also identified as the writer of the tablet (šāṭir ṭuppi). Instead of a seal impression (kunukku), fingernail impression (ṣupru) of B.
