Paraphrase

12 ¾ shekels of gold (ḫurāṣu), the first payment (ḫâṭu) for 2 minas 13 7/8 shekels of silver (kaspu), were received (maḫāru); 6 1/24 shekels of gold for 48 ½ shekels of silver were received; in total 18 4/5 shekels of gold were received from (ina qāti) Nabû-aḫu-ēreš/Nūrea; 8 4/5 shekels of gold are at his disposal (ina pāni). He received (it) for 1 mina 10 3/8 shekels of silver from Innin-zēru-…/Bēl-nāṣir. ...

Notes:

l.5: The stated sum in this line is 1/18 shekel higher than the calculated sum.

l.1–2+7–8: The gold price of both payments is different, in the first payment 1 shekel of gold corresponds to 10 ½ shekels of silver, in the second payment 1 shekel of gold corresponds to 7 45/49 (ca. 7.9) shekels of silver; cf. YOS 24, 45.
