Paraphrase

Yādāʾ/Nabû-zabad (Y) owes 14;0 of dates the impost (imittu) of the field in front of the fields of (tp)Kurbat, property of the Lady of Uruk and Nanāya. It is part of the rental payment of Gimillu/Innin-šumu-ibni, the rent farmer (ša muḫḫi sūti) of the Lady of Uruk. Y will deliver these dates in m.VII in the measure of the Lady of Uruk in one installment (ina muḫḫi ištēn ritti). Apart from 1;0 of dates for the agricultural supervisor (gugallu), he will also give standard additional payments and an “allowance”-fee (kurummatu) of 1;0.2.3, and 1;2.2. of dates of good qualities (makkasū). The remuneration (of the gardener) (sissinnu) is paid.

3 witnesses and the scribe Ištar-šumu-uṣur/Nergal-uṣur
