Šamaš-zēru-iqīša/Itti-Šamaš-balāṭu (ŠZI) owes [x];0 dates, the impost (imittu) that he must pay as his rental payment (sūtu) (on his feld) in (tp)Nār-eššu. The dates are property (makkūru) of the Lady of Uruk and Nanāya and pertain to the fixed rent (sūtu) due to Šumu-ukīn/Bēl-zēri//Basia, the rent farmer (ša muḫḫi sūti) of the Lady of Uruk. ŠZI will deliver these dates in (tp)Nār-eššu, in m.VIII using the mašīḫu-measure of the Lady of Uruk. The remuneration (of the gardener) (sissinnu) is paid.
3 witnesses and the scribe Balāṭu/Arad-Gula//Gimil-Nanāya
Notes
Balāṭu/Arad-Gula//Gimil-Nanāya wrote sissintu here (r.1), as in YOS 6 25 (r.2), instead of the more expected sissinnu.
