Anu-šarru-uṣur/Nabû-zēru-ibni (AŠU) swears by Bēl, Nabû, and the majesty (adê) of Cambyses that by the 20th day of m.VIII, he will give the rest of the barley that he has sold to Eanna to the harbormasters (rab kāri) Nanāya-ēreš/Gimillu and Šamaš-erība. If he misses the deadline, (f)Ina-Nanāya-ultarraḫ and her son will become Eanna's property in lieu of AŠU’s outstanding dues (rēḫu). This is apart from the outstanding dues of AŠU’s father.
4 witnesses.
Scribe: Nabû-mukīn-apli/Marduk-šumu-iddin//Balāṭu.

Oath of Anu-šarru-uṣur/Nabû-zēru-ibni. He swears by the gods and the adê of the king to bring the rest of the barley that he has sold to Eanna to Nanāya-ēreš and Šamaš-ēriba, officials of the quay (rab kāri) within seven days. Should he fail, his slave Nanāya-ultaraḫ and her son will become temple property, though they would only fulfil his debt, not his father’s. Four witnesses and Nabû-mukīn-apli/Marduk-šumu-iddin//Balāṭu, the scribe.
