Paraphrase

Account of 32 minas of silver that were taken (našû) to Babylon with Amurru-šarru-uṣur (AŠU), Royal Resident (qīpu) in Ngl. 01.XII. The credit (lit. rest, rēḫu) is 15.5 shekels. The debit amounts to 31 minas 44.5 shekels.

The silver was spent on: sheep and juniper, given to AŠU – a part was delivered (maḫāru) and the rest (rēḫu) is still at his disposal (ina pāni); šappu-bowls for wine; iron that Marduk-šumu-līšir/Balāssu took to Eanna.

A part thereof was put at the disposal of (ina qātē) Innin-šumu-ibni/Nabû-bēlšunu (on the 13th day of m.I), Innin-zēru-ušebši (on the 16th day of m.I), and Bēl-ēṭir/Amīl-Nabû (on the 27th day of m.I) and dispatched (abālu Š) to Ištar-alik-pāni (IAP) for the work (dullu) in the (tp)Raqqat-Šamaš irrigation district (tamirtu). It was also spent on bitumen given to IAP for the work in the (tp)Raqqat-Šamaš irrigation district.

Furthermore, the silver was given to Nabû-bēlu-uṣur, merchant (tamkaru), for the barley for allowances (kurummatu) of m. I, for Bēl-ēṭir/Amēl-Nabû; Nabû-aḫḫē-bulliṭ, temple scribe (ṭupšar bīti), who took it to Eanna; and Nā’id-Ištar/Kināya and Kidinnu, who took the silver that was in the nakmaru-container from Babylon to Eanna.
