Long term lease of temple land for orchard-planting.
A1, the temple administrator (šatammu) of Eanna, A2, the royal supervisor (ša rēš šarri bēl piqitti) of Eanna, and the scribes (ṭupšarru) of Eanna give 2 plots of land (zēru) to be (ana) planted (zāqipanūtu) by B, the courtier (rēš šarri).

Obligations: B will plant (zaqāpu) Dilmun date palms (asnû) and [date palms?] there (ina libbi). Although fragmentary, it seems that he is entitled to the usufruct (pāni dagālu N) of everything he can cultivate below the trees, in addition to(?) [...] Dilmun dates for the first ten years.
