Paraphrase

The document, written on the 12th of Nisan (I) in the 4th regnal year of Darius, records that the Ebabbar temple gave (nadānu, wr. sum.na) to (ana) A 9 minas of wool. It is a partial payment (ina) of the amounts of wool (šipâti, pl., lit. "wool") needed for (ša, lit. "of") the clothing-ceremony (lubuštu) of the goddess Anunītu that will take place (ša) in the following month (Ayyār) of the current year. This is apart from (elat) the previous(ly issued wool) (mahrû).
