Silim-Bēl/Ninurta-iddin, Rēmūt/Sîn-bēl-zēri, Ša-pî-Sîn/Nabû-mukku-elip and Ninurta-ēṭir/Ardia owe 136;0 of barley, the property of Bēl-SA-naṣru and Gula. They will give it until m.VII in the mašīḫu-measure of Bēl-SA-naṣru and in his temple.
The scribe noted that a missive of Nabû-aḫḫē-bulliṭ, the Governor of the Sealand (šakin māti), informed the administration that the temple already received the remainder (rēḫtu) of their rental payment in barley (sūtu) of Nbn.07 and Nbn.08.
The scribe of the document specifies that the accounting (nikkassu) was fulfilled (epēšu) with Nabû-šarru-uṣur, the Royal Overseer of Eanna (ša rēš šarri bēl piqitti), and the scribes of the Eanna.
(This obligation) is in addition to a payment of 88;0 of barley, a talent of wool (bilat šīpāti), 0;1.3 of sesame (šamaššammū) (of) the ginû-offerings of Nbn.08.XII.
They will also give to the Royal Resident (qīpu), the allowance-fee (kurummatu) of Nbn.08 of 10;0 of barley, 10;0 of dates, 0;1.4 of sesame (šamaššammū), 20 minas of wool.
They will not claim the harvest(?) (ēburu) of sesame, cuscuta (kasia) and dates.
In presence of Nabû-šarru-uṣur, the Royal Overseer of Eanna (ša rēš šarri bēl piqitti) and Libluṭ, the royal courtier, Keeper of the Royal Box in Eanna (ša rēš šarri ša muḫḫi quppi ša šarri).
6 witnesses and the scribe Nādinu/Bēl-aḫu-iqīša//Egibi
Notes
See Beaulieu 2003, 274-275 about Gula and 334-335 about Bēl-SA-naṣru in the Eanna temple.
One of the witnesses (r.6), Nabû-šarru-uṣur, is designated as the Royal Resident (qīpu) of Bēl-SA-naṣru. The scribe seems to have written the personal wedge before to write the name of the witnesses. Indeed, one line (r.10) is blank.
The name of the divinity Bēl-SA-naṣru is maybe to read Bēlūssa-naṣru.
