Paraphrase

: Land sub-lease for arable land belonging to the temple on a sharecropping basis.

A, the rent farmer (ša muhhi sūti) of Eanna, gives to B, [x] kor of arable land (pî šulpi) for cultivation on a sharecropping basis (errēšūtu). The land is property (makkūru) of the Eanna temple, part of the rent farm (sūtu) of A, and it is situated in the “thousand”-field complex (līmu) of C.
It includes both cultivated (bīt dulli) and uncultivated land (taptû). B will perform (epēšu) the work (dullu) there (ina libbi) and in newly reclaimed land (mayyāru), and guarantees (pūtu našû) for the performance of the (necessary) work.

In return, B will give ½ of the harvest from the already cultivated land as the temple’s share (zittu), and ⅓ from the previously uncultivated land.

Each took (a copy of) the document.

Names of 3 witnesses and the scribe.

A= Gimillu/Innin-šumu-ibni, rent farmer (ša muhhi sūti) of Eanna; B= Talīm/Šumu-ukīn; C= Šarru-iqbi.
