Paraphrase Promissory note for silver with antichretic pledge of a house.
B owes 50 shekels of medium quality silver, of which one-eighth is alloy to A. The payment is secured by the pledge of the debtor’s house located next to the houses of D and E.

Accordingly, he does not pay rent for the house, and B does not pay interest on his debt until the A has been fully repaid his 50 shekels of silver.

B will be charged (manû) for whatever refurbishing work (dullu) that C does in it with bricks (libnāte), reeds (qanâte), beams (gušūri) or doors (daltu). Names of 6 witnesses and the scribe.
