Paraphrase: Transfer of ownership, subject to life interest
^fA, of her own free will (ina hūd libbišu), has transferred the ownership of her properties (nikkassu) located inside and outside the city to her daughter ^fB under a sealed document (kanāku - dagālu Š). The transferred amount does not include 5 minas of silver, 2 slaves (amīlūtu) and household goods (udê bīti), that she previously gave to C as her daughter’s dowry (nudunnû). As long as ^fA will live, she will enjoy the usufruct (akalu akālu) of her assets. She cannot transfer the property (of anything) to anyone, on her own authority (šalāṭu - nadānu). The text also records that ^fB will not give any of the properties inherited from her mother to anyone, without (the consent of) her husband, C. When ^fA will die, her assets will be at ^fB’s disposal (ina pāni dagālu N). The text ends invoking the gods’ curse upon whomever will change (enû) the words written in this agreement (dabābu). Names of 6 witnesses and the scribe.

^fA = ^fSilim-Ištar/Kurigalzu//Ša-nāšišu; ^fB = ^fGula-qā’išat, daughter of ^fA; C = Bēl-ušallim/Zēria//Nabāya
