Nabû-mukku-elip/Nuranu (NME) owes (ina muḫḫi) 36;0 dates, impost of the field (imittu eqli) of the irrigation district (tamirtu) of (tp)Naḫal, 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.
NME will deliver (nadānu) the dates according to the measure (mašīḫu) of the Lady of Uruk in m. VII, in one installment in the enclosure (ina ḫaṣāri) together with a 1;0.2.3 "allowance"-fee (kurummatu), the standard additional products (including a load of firewood), and 3;0 choice-dates (makkasu).
It is apart from 1;0 (dates) of the agricultural supervisor (gugallu). His sissinnu-remuneration has been paid.
