Paraphrase Loan of silver: B1 and fB2 owe A 1 ½ shekels of silver together with (adi) the silver of the sesame. B1 will perform the work (dullu epēšu) of A and A will give bread to B1. Each month the claim (rašûtu) due from (ina muhhi) B will diminish (maqātu Š-stem) by 1 shekel of silver until A is paid (eṭēru N-stem). fB2, mother of B1, guarantees (pūtu našû) for B1. B1 guarantees for paying off (eṭēru) the silver and the sesame, which originally was the claim of A due from C. 3 witnesses and the scribe. In addition (elat) B1 and C will give 10 loads of palm-frond ribs (huṣābu).
