Paraphrase Purchase of a garden: A purchases an orchard (kirû) for 3 minas and 50 shekels of white silver (kaspu peṣû) in pieces (šibirtu), together with an additional payment (atru) of 15 shekels of silver, from B. The sold orchard is the 1/6 (inheritance) share (zittu) which B2, the father of the seller, received from B3, the grandfather of the seller. It is located in the meadowland (ugāru) of Uruk. Its upper side, its lower side and its upper front border on (the properties of) C1, C2 and C3. Its lower front border on the royal canal (nār šarri). Neither cardinal directions nor measures are given for the sides of the plot. 11 witnesses and the scribe. Fingernail impression (ṣupru) of B1. In YBC11413 we learn about two other 1/6 shares of the inheritance of Ahhēa.
