Paraphrase

Minutes of a court proceeding in Eanna. At the Adad Gate, Nabû-šumu-ukīn/Bēl-aḫḫē-erība//Arrabtu took possession from Sūqāya/Innin-šumu-iškun of two goats marked with a star (kakkabtu). Sūqāya claims to have received them from Zēriya/Kalbāya, temple shepherd, and from Nanāya-iddin/Nusku-abī for the purpose of pasturing them. Nabû-šumu-ukīn tells that both came to ask for the animals, but when he refused to return them and spoke about contacting the authorities, they fled. Sūqāya eventually confesses that Zēriya instructed him to say that the animals belonged to Iqīšāya, overseer of the cattle (rab būti). Six witnesses and Gimillu/Innin-zēru-iddin, the scribe.
