- Receipt for silver. Partial payment of the total price for a plot of land.
Three sisters, fA1, fA2 and fA3, acknowledge that they received (mahāru) 10 shekels of silver from B in Dûzu (IV). This is a partial payment out of a total price (šīmu) corresponding to x+5 shekels of silver, for 1;2.3 kor (20250 m2) of arable land (zēru) that B purchased from the three sisters (ina qātē … mahāru). The rest of the silver remains deposited with B (paqādu) and will be transferred once the sellers’ creditors (rāšû) will have been satisfied (inneṭṭir [eṭēru]). The document also ratifies that the yield (ebūru) of the present year will belong to the buyer. Names of 3 witnesses and the scribe.
