Registration of a child as a temple-serf in the registry of the Ebabbar temple.
fA, a musician (nârtu), gave birth to B while serving as a musician (ina nârūti). Her mother, fC1, a female temple-serf (širkātu), wife of C2, a ploughman (ikkaru) of Šamaš, hid (pašānu) the baby from (lapāni) D, the chief priest (šangû) of Sippar and from the scribes of Sippar.
Later (arku), in 6 Cyr, fC1 confirmed (qabû) that B is the son of fA, her daughter. He is a temple-serf (širku) of Šamaš, and thus should be entered (erēbu) in the registry (lēˀu) of Šamaš.
The chief priest and the scribes of Sippar listened (šemû) to fC1 and registered (šaṭāru) B as fA’s son.
Names of 5 witnesses and the scribe.
