Paraphrase
Court protocol.
The beginning of the text is fragmentary: from what is extant, one understands that A, by means of his proxy C, bought a female slave from B for the hariṣ-price amounting to 2 1/3 minas of silver; it is also mentioned that the slave is performing duties on behalf of  A. Now, fD1 and fD2, B’s wife and mother-in-law, have brought suit because of this slave and they therefore came in front of Nabonidus’ judges. The judges heard their testimony and read the documents related to fD1’s dowry. According to these, the female slave is not part of her dowry; they have brought B in their presence and let fD1 take as a pledge the arable land located on the Royal Canal, which is B‘s inheritance share. In future times, fD1 and fD2 will not raise claims about this slave nor about the price paid by C. C’s name is identified in the tablet as buyer. Names of the witnesses and the scribe are broken.
 
A = Iddin-Marduk/Iqīšāya//Nūr-Sîn; B = Nabû-tultabši-līšir/Bēl-zēru-ibni//Nappāhu; C = Itti-Marduk-balāṭu/Nabû-ahhē-iddin//Egibi; fD1 = fEsagila-rāmat, wife of B; fD2 = fTašmētu-damqat, mother of fD1
