Paraphrase Dialogue document concerning a self-adoption (during times of siege): The first 5 lines of the tablet are broken. The preserved text starts with the approach of fB towards A, who asks A to feed her and take her as his slave. A grants the request and determines her maintenance costs (kurummatu). In case her husband, her son, her brother or another relative would like to redeem (paṭāru) fB, he has to replace her in equal terms. Curse formula. 4 witnesses and the scribe.
 
A = Aplāya//Šangû-Sippar; fB = fMaqartu; Scribe = Šākin-šumi//Ša-nāšišu
