- About a slave sale: cancellation of the deal and restitution of money and slaves.
A sold his female slaves fC1 with her two daughters fC2 and fC3 [...] to B for 2 2/3 minas of silver, in Hubadêšu. The deal however was cancelled, and now B akcnowledges that he has received back (eṭēru) the 2 2/3 minas of silver from A; he also promptly gives back (târu D) the promissory note (u’iltu) related to the entire purchase price for these female slaves. As soon as A will send a messenger (mār šipri) to B in Babylon, then (B) will give the slaves to the messenger. If a slave has died (maṭû) or has given birth (alādu) while at B’s place, A bears the loss as well as the profit (lit. "it is of A"). The parties to the contract have taken one document each. Names of 2 witnesses and the scribe.
