Šulāya(/Aḫḫēa)//Ṭābia (Š) owed 2 minas of silver to Kunāya//Basia (K). Nabû-ēṭir(/Aḫḫēa)//Ṭābia (NE1), the brother of Š, acted as the guarantor (māḫiṣ pūti) and plegded his house to K to secure this interest-bearing loan (ḫubullānu).

Nabû-ēṭir/Kunāya//Basia (NE2), the son of K, admits that he has received the interest, and NE1 later sealed a relevant document. Mušēzib-Marduk/Kiribtu//Sîn-nāṣir (MM) argues that the house was his security.

They ligitate (dīnu dabābu) in the assembly (puḫru) of Babylonians and the Governor (šākin ṭēmi), who decide in favor of MM, but obligate him to pay 2 minas NE2 off. MM receives a sealed document and assumes ownership of the house.

Settlement of a dispute concerning a pledged house: Law case concerning a house which C₂, the guarantor (māhiṣ pūti), has pledged to B₁, creditor in an interest-bearing loan (hubullānu) of 2 minas of silver, to C₁, the brother of C₂. When B₂, the son of B₁, on the basis of a sealed document (ṭuppu kī kanāku), claims his rights on the said house, A asserts that the house was already pledged to him. Following the decision of the assembly (puhru) of the Babylonians and the governor (šākin ṭēmi), A paid the 2 minas of silver to B₂ and in return received a sealed document (kunukku). Now, the house, as a pledge, is only at the disposal of A. 5 witnesses and the scribe.
