| Paraphrase | About the purchase of land: undertaking to pay the rest of the purchase price after the acknowledgment by witnesses. A (who acts as C’s proxy, though this is not explicitly stated in the text) owes 14 1/2 shekels of silver to B. This is what remains (rīhtu) to be paid after C purchased 0;0.3 Kor (1350 m2) of agricultural land, a jointly held property to which B (pūt zittu) has title and of which C and his brothers are co-owners. The buyer is afraid that members of the seller’s family could go against this sell: thus, he asks them to be included among the witnesses of this deal. He will give the silver, 14 ½ shekels, to B as soon as (ūmu ša) the brothers of B and fD, the wife of B’s father, will be listed in C’s sealed document among the witnesses. Names of 2 witnesses and the scribe. A = Šāpik-zēri/Nabû-šumu-iddin//Nādin-še'im; B = Nabû-mušētiq-uddê/Rēmūt//Eppeš-ilī; C = Itti-Marduk-balāṭu/Nabû-ahhē-iddin//Egibi; fD = fṬābatu, wife of B’s father |
