Officials (qīpānu) and scribes of Eanna lay claim (emēdu D) on a house in Uruk belonging to Marduk-šumu-līšir/Rīmūtu//Bēl-usāti (MŠL), which he purchased from his grandson Nabû-aḫḫē-iddin/Bēl-usāti (mistake for //Bēl-usāti?). MŠL was one of 10 debtors who owed Eanna 20 minas of silver, for which they pledged their entire possessions as security to Iltammeš-barak/Nabû-zēru-ukīn. MŠL’s share in the total debt was 2 minas.
Now, Šamaš-zēru-ibni/Iltammeš-barak is obliged to pay these 2 minas of silver by the […] day of this month, and the house is transferred (lit. released) to him.
The debtors alongside MŠL were: Iqīša-[…]/Šamaš-šumu-ukīn//Esagilāya, Šamaš-zēru-iqīša/Bēl-ušallim//Kurī, Nergal-uballiṭ/Nabû-šumu-ēreš//Šangû-parakki, Mukīn-Marduk/Marduk-šumu-ibni//Bābūtu, Nabû-aḫḫē-šullim/Kalūmu//Gimil-Nanāya, Gimillu/Šūzubu/Ḫunzû, Šūzubu/Bēl-iqīša(//Šangû-[...], see Kessler 1991, 30), Nabû-balāssu-iqbi/Nabû-ēṭir//Sîn-leqe-unninnī, Nabû-iqīša/Kalūmu.
Written in the presence of Nabû-mukīn-apli/Nādinu//Dābibī, High Priest (šatammu) of Eanna, Sîn-šarru-uṣur, Royal Overseer (ša rēš šarri bēl piqitti) of Eanna, and 4 witnesses including Bēl-ēṭēri-Nabû, Royal Courtier Appointed to Eanna (ša rēš šarri ša ina Eanna paqdu), and Amurru-šarru-uṣur/Talīmu, Aramaic scribe (sēpiru).
