Paraphrase

When witnesses testify (kânu D) that Gimillu/Innin-šumu-ibni committed a crime that involves sesame (šamaššammu), he has to repay it thirtyfold. The details of the crime are lost in a lacuna. 

Written in the presence of Nidinti-Bēl/Nabû-mukīn-zēri//Dābibī, High Priest (šatammu) of Eanna, and Nabû-aḫu-iddin, Royal Overseer (ša rēš šarri bēl piqitti) of Eanna.

3 witnesses.

Scribe: Balāṭu/Sîn-ibni//Rēʼi-alpi.

Legacy Paraphrase

Appeal to deposition against Gimillu/Innin-šumu-ibni. He is accused of having committed a crime against Eanna, though the context is unclear and all that can be discerned is that it relates to sesame (šamaššammu). Three witnesses and Balāṭu/Sîn-ibni//Rē’û, the scribe.
