Detailed list of estimated imittu date yield; delivery quotas from bow land.

B owes a total amount (napharu) of 9 kor of dates to A, the deputy (šanû) appointed over the mares (ša urâti) who is responsible (ša qātē) for the collection of impost (imittu)  from the šušānû-fields (eqel šušānê). The 9 kors are the estimated income from this impost, and B should deliver them in their full amount (gamru) in Yahud during the date harvest season (8th month). The dates are grown on bow-land, and the first 10 lines of the document register in a semi-organized way (no columns, no gridlines) the names of 10 individuals (C1-10), the size of the share they hold in the bow-land (qaštu, 3-ta ribâta* = ¾, ahu = ½, ribû = ¼), and the amounts of dates  each of them should deliver. Names of 3 witnesses and the scribe: Šamaš-ēreš/Marduk-mukīn-apli//Mudammiq-Adad. Cf. CUSAS 28, 15 and BaAr 6, 12.
