- Receipt for silver: separate payment for yield.
fA1 and A2 receive (eṭeru) silver (the exact amount is not recorded in the text) from B, who previously purchased (mahīra epēšu) a plot of arable land (zēru) situaled along C’s sluice channel (bitqu) from them. This is the price for the yield (ebūru) of that date palm grove for Cyrus 7th year. The related text BM32204 (Wunsch 2000, 70) shows that the land which B bought was an orchard planted with date palms: since the purchase took place shortly before the date harvest, the buyer must pay separately for it. Names of 2 witnesses (including Nabû-kuzub-ilī/Šūzubu/Šigûa, brother of fA1) and the scribe.
fA1 = fTašmētu-damqat/Šūzubu//Šigûa; A2 = Nādin/Rēmūt//Eppeš-ilī; B = Itti-Marduk-balāṭu/Nabû-ahhē-iddin//Egibi; C = Ile’’i-Bēl - Transliteration
