On Nbn.03.VII.04, Šamaš-līšir/Arad-Nabû (m.d.utu-si*.sá*(?)) will step forward (izuzzu) and swear (elû Š) the oath of the god (šum ili) through Multēšir to Lūṣi-ana-nūri/Aplāya: “(I swear) that I did not remove and carry away (ušēlû u aššû) either silver or [other] property (bušû) from the house of Aplāya your father without your consent (ša lā kâ[ša])” (collated M. Jursa). If he swears (tamû), he will be clear (of charge, zakû). If he does not, he will pay compensation (šalāmu D) for everything that was lost from the house of Aplāya.
Two witnesses are listed. The scribe is Bēl-iqīša/Nabû-kāṣir//Nūr-Sîn, in Babylon.
Note: Assigning this tablet to Uruk is based on museum context.
