Debt note for impost in dates.
The multiple gaps on the obverse are (securely) restored according to the reading in Janković 2013. Fully restored Akkadian keywords are not noted.
A [owes] 260 kor if dates. It is the impost (imittu) that he has to pay for the plot of land (eqlu) in Lasūtu, the bīt ritti estate of B. The dates are [the property of the Lady of] Uruk and Nanāya and pertain to (ša) [the rent farm (sūtu)] of C (who had leased the license to collect rent on behalf of the temple).
A will give the dates in month [VII or VIII], all at once (ina ištet rittu), using the measure (mašīhu) [of the Lady-of-Uruk]. With each kor (of dates) he will give 0;0.1.3½ kor as the kiṣir esitti balāṭu ana Bēl fee (partly uncl.), a load (biltu) of firewood (huṣābu), a palm-leaf basket (tuhallu), leaflets (liblibbu) and fibre (mangagu).
