- Lease of a prebend: fA1 gives prebends for the performance of the duties (ēpišānūtu) to B1 and B2. This concerns the prebend of the arranger-of-the-sacrificial-table (isiq mubannûti) in Ebabbar in Sippar of the months Ayyār (II), Dûzu (IV), Šabāṭ (XI) and the 21st to 30th of Arahsamna (VIII), the prebend of the oil-presser (ṣāhitu) of the first half of Tašrīt (VII) as well as 13 sweet cakes (muttāqu) of the whole year. The lessees guarantee (pūtu našû) for not interrupting (lā baṭlu) the service and punctuality (masnaqtu) of the performance of the cult. They will give to the lessor (from what is preserved) 4;2.3 kor (810 l) of dates, 1 takkašu loaf (ṣibtu ša takkaši), 2/3 of a vat of good quality (babbanû) billatu-beer and two shares (ahu) of vegetables (mašqu) from the mubannûtu-prebend and 30 containers (kindu) of pressed sesame (kupsu) and 1/16 liter (ahu summunu, “half share of 1/8 liter”) honey. The income for the lessor of the prebend of sweet cakes (muttāqūtu) is entirely lost. 4 witnesses (including Kuṣurāya/Nidintu//Šangû-Ištar-Bābili and Bēl-bullissu/Nabû-ittannu//Šangû-Ištar-Bābili) and the scribe. Additional penalty clause: The one who violates (nabalkutu) the agreement will pay 5 shekels of white silver (kaspu peṣû).
