Arabe land in the hanšû of Esagil-amāssu of Mušēzib-Bēl/Zēr-Bābili//Ilūtu-bāni, which Mušēzib-Bēl gave for 2 years for cultivation (errēšūtu) to Arad-Bēl/Anu-ēṭir//Iddin-Papsukkal. For as much of the work (mala dullu) he will do (epēšu) on it (the land), Arad-Bēl will only give one third (?) (of the yield) as the share in the harvest (šibšu) of the field to Mušēzib-Bēl.
2 witnesses and the scribe Nabû-balāssu-iqbi/Rēmūtu//Rē’û-ša-Nabû
Notes
For šibšu, see Van Driel 2002, 291-292.
