- Paraphrase
Šamaš-īpuš/Ardia the ploughman (ikkaru), owes (ina muḫḫi) 260;0 of barley. It is the impost (imittu) that he has to pay as his rental payment (sūtu) in the irrigated farmland (tamirtu) of (tp)Tabīnu-ša-Šumu-ukīn. It is the property (makkūru) of the Lady of Uruk and Nanāya and pertains to the fixed rent (sūtu) due to Šumu-ukīn/Bēl-zēri//Basia (who had leased the license to collect rent on behalf of the temple). Šamaš-īpuš/Ardia will deliver the barley in m.II using the measure (mašīḫu) of the Lady of Uruk. This is apart (elat) from the previous debt notes charged against him.
3 witnesses and the scribe Balāṭu/Mušēzib-Bēl
