Paraphrase: Purchase of land.
The top of the tablet, which recorded the size and type of the purchased land with the topographical references, is lost: the only information one gets is that one side of the purchased plot of land is adjacent to the property of A, the buyer. The total purchase price of the field is also unknown, but the established ratio is 1 shekel of silver for each 0;0.0.1? Kor (75 m²?) of land, to which the buyer adds x+1/4 shekels of silver as additional payment (kî atru). B acknowledges that he has received (mahāru) the total amount of silver which was due to him, in pieces (šibirtu), and he is satisfied (apālu G Stat). The parties agree that in future times there will be no claims or suits against each other, not even between members of their families – otherwise, any future claimant (pāqirānu) will have to repay twelvefold the silver he received. The names of the witnesses and of the scribe are lost.

A = Itti-Marduk-balāṭu/Nabû-ahhē-iddin//Egibi; B = Mušēzib-Bēl/Nabû-šumu-ukīn//Sîn-šadûnu
