Paraphrase

Arad-Innin/Šadûnu? (AI) and Ištar-šumu-ibni/Bēl-ušallim owe Eanna 9;0 barley, payable in m.II in the measure (mašīḫu) of the Lady of Uruk. The barley was exchanged (šupêltu) for 6;0 dates. Mutual guarantee. This is apart from a debt note (uʼiltu) charged against AI.

3 witnesses.

Scribe: Eanna-šumu-ibni/Aḫḫēšāya.

 

The patronym of AI is introduced as a family name, but Šadûnu is not a common family name. An alternative interpretation Arad-Innin//Kudurrānu instead of Arad-Innin/Šadûnu is possible but unlikely.

According to Spar the date is Nbk. 35.00.05
