Paraphrase Gift: B gifts fA f[C1], fC2 and fC3, 3 of his slaves, with a sealed document. They are given in lieu of [x] minas of silver, the dowry of fA, and 1/3 mina of silver from fA’s dowry casket (quppu), which B had used with fA’s approval (ana ṣibûti). 3 qa (3 l)of beer, cuts (pirānu) of meat, makkasu-meat and trimmings from B’s prebend in the Ebabbar before Šamaš are fA’s security for 10 minas of white silver, that B had bequeathed her. Whoever pays fA 10 minas of silver can buy the prebend. A clause stating fA’s right of disposal of the silver and the 3 slaves ends the operative section. 14 witnesses and the scribe: Šūzubu/Zababa-ahu-iddin//Ileˀˀi-Marduk.
