Nabû-mukīn-…/Il-ana-bītīšu (NM) owes (ina muḫḫi) 27;0 dates, the impost (imittu) on a side of the field (aḫī eqli) of Šamaš-erība, extending to the border (adi muḫḫi miṣri) of Nāṣiru, 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.
NM will deliver (nadānu) the dates in m. VII in one installment, in the enclosure (ina ḫaṣāri) using the measure (mašīḫu) of the Lady of Uruk together with a 1;0.2.3 "allowance"-fee (kurummatu), standard additional payments (including a load of firewood (libbi mangāgi u bilti ša ḫuṣābi)), and 3;0.2.2 choice-dates (makkasu). It is apart from 1;0 (dates) for the agricultural supervisor (gugallu).
