Paraphrase

A list of expenses for travel provisions.

16 shekels of silver for their travel provisions (ṣidītu) to Nabû-ušallim/Arad-Nabû (NU) and Bēl-aḫu-iqīša (BAI), who brought (našû) the sacrificial “leftovers” (rēḫātu) to the king.

12 shekels of silver were issued (nadānu) to Nūrea/Iqīšāya (N) and Kīnāya/Iqīšāya (K), who brought the sacrificial “leftovers” to the son of the king (mār šarri), for their travel provisions for 6 months (m.V-m.X).

2 shekels to N and K instead of 2;1.1.3 of barley, the remainder of their outstanding salaries in kind (kurummatu), they being carriers of the royal shares in the offerings (ša kurummat šarri).

½ mina to NU and Bēl-tuklātū’a, who will bring the sacrificial “leftovers” to the king in (tp)Teima, to allow them to procure their travel provisions (?, ana ṣidītišunu [spelled ⸢ṣi(?)-di(?)⸣-it-ti-šú-nu, collation of original needed, M. Jursa] ana našê).

4 shoes of ḫamban-leather, 4 waterskins (nūṭu) as well as ⅔ (of a shekel of silver) instead of 2 shoes of ḫamban-leather (to) NU (and) BAI.

⅔ (of a shekel) of silver instead of 2 sandals of ḫamban-leather, 2 sandals (mešēnu petûtu) and 2 waterskins (to) N and K.
