Bēl-ibni/Kabtia (BI) guarantees (pūtu našû) to Nabû-aḫu-iddin (NAI), Royal Overseer (ša rēš šarri bēl piqitti) of Eanna, for Nabû-aḫḫē-bulliṭ/Ibnāya (NAB), Rēmūtu/Marduk-bēl-ilāni (R), and Anu-bān-aḫi/Šulāya (ABA). On Cyr. 07.II.15, these three men will bring to Eanna the cattle, sheep, and goats of the Lady of Uruk that are their outstanding (ina muḫḫišunu) remainder (rēhu) of year 6, and they will brand the animals there. Should they fail, BI will deliver (eṭēru) the remainder. NAB, R, and ABA swear by Bēl, Nabû, and the majesty (adê) of the king not to miss the deadline (adannu) that NAI set for them.
This is apart from their earlier remainder.
