Long term land lease for tending the date palms in an orchard belonging to the temple on a sharecropping basis.
Two brothers, A1 and A2, give their hallatu-orchard (zēru kirû hallatu) of the Lady-of-Uruk and Nanāya, to B for the purpose of orchard-tending (nukaribbūtu) for 4 years.
The plot is situated on the intake (bābu) of Ḫarru-ša-Gubbāya. B will (re-)build (epēšu) the orchard wall (igāru) and cut (nakāsu) the thorny bushes (giṣṣu). His share (zittu) will be ¼ of the yield (ebūru) of the plot.
Whoever transgresses the agreement will pay 5 shekels of silver.
Names of 7 witnesses and the scribe.
A1= Innin-šumu-iškun/Gimillu//Rab-banê, brother of Nanāya-Šamšia (= A2); A2= Nanāya-Šamšia/Gimillu//Rab-banê, brother of Innin-šumu-iškun (= A1); B= Anu-nūr-ilī/Nergal-ēṭer//Rab-banê.
