Paraphrase

Arad-Nabû/Idī-il and Arad-Nabû/Bēlšunu guarantee (pūt … našû) vis-à-vis (ina qāti) Sîn-iddin (SI), the Royal Resident (qīpu) of Eanna, for Nergal-uballiṭ/Isinnāya (NU) and Erēbšu/Isinnāya (E), the herder (nāqidu) of the Lady-of-Uruk. In m. III, they will bring them forth (abāku) and give them (nadānu) to SI, the Royal Resident of Eanna, in Uruk. [If] they do not bring them forth and give them, they will pay from the balance (rēḫu) due from Isinnāya, their father, to the Lady-of-Uruk. Furthermore, SI will hold NU and E accountable (bu''û) for the rest of the balance (rēḫet rēḫe) due from their father. Mutual guarantee.
