[…]/Iqīšāya, gardner, tilled a 0;0.4-temple plot on the līmu-land at (tp)Bīt-Gilānu, but he enlarged his field to include adjacent land.
He forfeits (qātu elû) the land beyond his 0;0.4-plot, and he has restored thirtyfold to the Lady of Uruk everything that he has grown there, as much as witnesses testify (kânu D) or when stolen goods (qāt ṣibitti) are found in his possession. He also forfeits (the other) plot that he has tilled.
3 witnesses.
