Undetermined legal text, possibly a promissory note. Fragmentary.
The tablet is in such a poor status of preservation so that it is not possible to determine its exact legal nature. The preserved part mentions various deliveries (of silver?) that one or more debtors (a gap on the tablet prevents the reader from knowing his/their identity) must hand over: 20 shekels in Dûzu (IV) (and?) 29 shekels in Kislīm (IX). In Simān (III) of Nebuchadnezzar’s 35th regnal year the delivery of an unknown amount of barley, which must follow the measure of the Lady of Uruk, is set. It is unclear whether this refers to an additional delivery, or to a conversion of the silver deliveries in natura. The document was drafted in the presence of (ina ušuzzi) Nabû-šarru-uṣur, the courtier (ša rēš šarri). Names of 2+ witnesses; the lower part of the tablet is broken, therefore it is not possible to state if there were other names of witnesses and of a scribe, nor if the text was dated.
