Zēria/Bēl-ēreš and Nabû-aḫḫē-iddin/Bēl-ēreš owe (ina muḫḫi) 186;0 dates, impost (imittu) of two parts in the "thousand"-field complex (līmu) of (tp)Ḫarrātu, the field (eqlu) of Šabûa, 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 in m. VII in one instalment, 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), and 18;0 choice-dates (makkasu). They received (eṭēru) 10;0 dates, the sissinnu-remuneration. It is apart from 2;0 (dates) for the agricultural supervisor (gugallu).
3 witnesses and the scribe Ṣillāya/Ištar-šumu-uṣur//Kidin-Marduk.
