Paraphrase

Eanna receives (maḫāru) 10 shekels of silver in compensation for (kūm) the beating (ṭerûtu) of Ardia/Bēl-aḫḫē-erība (A), herdsman of sheep and goats of Ištar of Uruk, by Adad-šarru-uṣur/Nanāya-iddin (AŠU), Rēmūtu, and Barik-il, hirelings (agru) of Šulāya/Gimillu. AŠU delivers it with (ina) the remainder (rēḫu) of sheep and goats due from (ina muḫḫi) A.

Legacy Paraphrase

The Eanna treasury records the payment of 10 shekels of silver representing cattle arrears of the temple shepherd (nāqidu) Ardiya/Bēl-aḫḫē-erība. They are substituted by a fine imposed on Adad-šar-uṣur/Nanāya-iddin and Rēmūt and Bariki-ili/Gimillu, hired men (agū) of Šūlaya, for their beating (ṭirûtu) of Ardiya.
