They will give the dates in their entirety in Arahsamna (VIII) in Borsippa at the entrance of the warehouse (bāb kalakki), according to the measure of the king. For each kor they will also give loads of palm-frond ribs (huṣābu), palm-leaf baskets (tuhallu) and date palm fibres (mangagu). The wages in dates (sissinnu) are paid (eṭēru Stat.). For 1 kor of arable land (zēru) they will pay 0;3 kor (36 l) of dates for the service of the agricultural supervisor (gugallūtu). Each is responsible for the other (ištēn pūtu šanû našû). 2 witnesses and the scribe. This is apart from (elat) the 2 kūṣayu date palms.
