Paraphrase: Cancellation of a previous agreement.
B₁owes silver to A, and for this he pledged his slaves ^fC₁, ^fC₂, and ^fC₃ (as recorded in BM30521 and BMUnknown(Nbn 602)). Apparently he was unable to pay for his debt, so A took away (ana kaspi abāku) the three female slaves from him. Afterwards, the debtor’s mother ^fB₂ provided enough silver to redeem 2 of the 3 slaves and accordingly A gave ^fC₁ and ^fC₂ back (târu D) to B₁ and ^fB₂. The debtors ceded (uššuru) ^fC₃ to A, because of (akî) the silver that they still owe him. Now, B₁ and ^fB₂ promise not to dispose of the 2 redeemed slaves, nor to give them as a present to anyone, until the arrangement set up (riksu rakāsu) between A and B₁’s brother, D, will be settled (qatû). Names of 3 witnesses and the scribe: Itti-Nabû-balāṭu/Marduk-bāni-zēri//Bēl-ēṭir.
