Paraphrase: Establishment of a business partnership.
A₁ and A₂ invest 24;2.0.0 kor barley, worth 56 shekels of silver, in a business partnership with B, whom they regard accountable for this sum (ana muhhi manû) and to whom they granted a half share in it (ahu zitti šakānu). C is identified as the person who actually owes the barley to the partners. It is agreed that they will together collect it from him (lapāni esēru). A₁ and A₂ will be fully paid for their investment of 56 shekels (šalāmu G) from the common business capital (karû) and testify (pūt mukinnūti našû) that C still owes the 24;2.0.0 kor of barley, due from him for the month Kislīm (IX) from the previous year. A short remark at the end of the document qualifies the capital sum of silver as having 1/6 alloy. Names of xxx witnesses and the scribe.

A₁ = Kāṣir/Iqīšāya//Nūr-Sîn; A₂ = Iddin-Marduk/Iqīšāya//Nūr-Sîn; B = Bēl-ile’’i/Šūzubu//Bēl-bani; C = Ubār-Nabû/Šum-Nabû
