Paraphrase

Debt note for impost in dates.

The 4 brothers A1A2A3, and A4 owe (ina muhhi) 42 kor of dates to the Eanna temple. These are the impost (imittu) of the 2 sluice-gates (bābu) of the Aššurītu-canal, on the side of the royal road. The dates are the property (makkūru) of the Eanna temple and pertain to (ša) the rent-farm (sūtu) of B (who had leased the license to collect rent on behalf of the temple).

A1–4 will deliver the dates, according to the measurement (mašīhu) of the Lady-of-Uruk, in the courtyard (haṣāru) in Dûzu (IV). For each delivery (lit. hand, rittu) they will also deliver 1;0.1.4½ kor per kor as the kiṣir esitti balāṭu ana Bēl fee, palm-leaf basket (tuhallu), leaflets (liblibbu), and fibre (mangagu).

Each of the four brothers is responsible for the other (ištēn pūtu šanû našû).

25 kor of the 42 are the responsibility (ina pāni) of A1, and the remaining 17 kor are of A2A3, and A4. All of this is apart (elat) from the previous debt notes (uˀiltu) charge against A1.

Names of 2 witnesses and a scribe.
