Paraphrase Court protocol: litigation about a slave sale. Very fragmentary.

Someone (possibly D1, whose name is lost, and his sister fD2) brought a suit against this sale (in front of?) E, claiming rights on fC. They came in front of Nabonidus’ judges and E said: "F has […] [f]C. Rest broken off. Names of 6 witnesses (all of them are judges) and 2 scribes.
