A approaches (ana pāni alāku) B, the temple administrator (šatammu) of Eanna, regarding his (= A’s) consecration (gullubu) for the brewers’ prebend (isqu) of the Lady-of-Uruk.

In order to evaluate A’s request, B summons two members of A’s clan (the Ekur-zākir family), C₁ and C₂, and they testify (qabû) in the assembly of the mār banês that A is the (rightful) owner of the prebend (bēl išqi) and that his mother is pure (ellu).*

B checks the writing board of the treasury (kizlāqu) of the Lady-of-Uruk and assigns to A the days that used to be assigned to D, the brother of A’s grandfather.

Names of 6 witnesses and the scribe.
