Land rental.
A and his brothers rent land planted with trees (zēru zaqpu) located along the Harru-ša-Zabuna to B, who should perform gardening work (nukaribbūtu). In Abu (V) he should carry out the excavation work (herûtu) for irrigation (labku), he should dig ditches using a winnowing shovel (pīsu). He should remove the clods (akkullātu) and take care of the palm fronds (libbu) and branches (harūtu). He will not cut off the twigs (hūpu). As long as he will farm the land with the shovel (parzillu), he will receive 5 kor (900 l) of dates per kor of land as gardener's remuneration (šissinnu). Names of 2 witnesses and the scribe.
