Undetermined legal text. Very fragmentary.
Only the first lines of the obverse are still readable: they mention a date, the 20th of Addar, and the individuals involved in the deal. These are: A, an unnamed freedwoman (zakītu) of the Lady of Uruk, her/his 2 full-grown daughters(*), and “the associates” (itbāru). Rest broken off. On the reverse, only a list of 3+ witnesses is extant, with the name of the scribe: Šamaš-šumu-ukīn/Nabû-šumu-iddin.
(*) itbaru is in feminine plural, this would suggest a reading “daughters” hence perhaps read [u x] ˹DUMU.MÍŠ˺-šú although Gehlken’s copy has “DUMU” sons. Needs collation.
A = Bania/Nabû-zēru-ušabši
