Paraphrase Securities for a silver debt: pledge of a house and interest
B1 and his wife (fB2) owe ½ minas and 6 shekels of silver to A, which is secured by a lien on the debtors' entire house until the creditor is paid back in full his silver. Additional securities are in place: on part of this debt, namely 26 shekels, the debtors will have to pay a yearly interest of 20%, to be paid on a monthly basis. The remaining 10 shekels is interest-free as it is secured by the pledge in antichresis of the east part of the debtors' house ("no rent on the house, and no interest on the silver").  Names of 4 witnesses and the scribe: B1. Written in the presence (ina ašābi) of the debtor's mother (fC).
