Ṭābia/Šamaš-udammiq (T) and Šamaš-aḫḫē-erība/Bēl-ibni (ŠAE) owe (ina muḫḫi) 10;0 dates, impost of the field (imittu eqli) of the city (tp)Nāru-eššu, property (makkūru) of the Lady of Uruk and of Nanāya.
It is part of the rent (sūtu) of Gimillu/Ištar-šumu-ibni, the rent farmer (ša muḫḫi sūti) of Eanna. They will deliver (nadānu) the dates according to the measure (mašīḫu) of the Lady of Uruk in one installment in the enclosure (ina ḫaṣāri) in m. VII, together with a 1;0.2.3 "allowance"-fee (kurummatu), the standard additional products (including a load of firewood (libbi mangāgi u bilti ša ḫuṣābi)), and 1;0 of choice dates (makkasu). It is apart from 1;0 (dates) of the agricultural supervisor (gugallu). Ṭ and ŠAE received (eṭēru) the sissinnu-remuneration. They guarantee (našû) for each other.
3 witnesses and the scribe Ṣillāya/Ištar-šumu-uṣur//Kidin-Marduk.
