(f)Aḫātu-ēreš/Kurṣā (AE), the spouse of Ḫumbaba-aḫu-iddin, along with Arrabu/Ḫumbaba-aḫu-iddin (A) and Niqūdu/Ḫumbaba-aḫu-iddin (N), voluntarily sold their slaves (lamutānu) (f)Ina-dannati-alsîšu (IDA) and (f)Ḫabṣiru (Ḫ), her daughter, for 1 mina and 5 shekels of silver - the full price - to Nabû-mušētiq-uddi/Balāssu//Damqu.
AE, A and N assume guarantee against any legal claims which may arise over IDA and Ḫ, by a person acting unlawfully or by a person with a vindication suit.
8 witnesses and the scribe Bānia/Nabû-lē’i
Note
The name Aḫātu-ēreš (written (f)a-ḫat-tu₄-KAM) may perhaps be read as Apātu-ēreš (CAD A/2, 168, 'he desired mankind?'), as was first suggested in BE 6, no. 19.
