Paraphrase: Receipt of silver: A₁ receives from B 2 minas and 29 shekels of silver, share (zittu) of A₂, and 1 mina of silver out of 17 minas and 22 shekels (either this should be rather 52 shekels of silver or the subtotals are incorrect) which are due from B because he illegally seized property (ṣibtētu) of A₂. The payment of silver replaces physical punishment: 16 5/6 minas of silver instead (kūm) of cutting off (batāqu) B’s hand (rittu) and 1 mina and 2 shekels of silver instead of 21 beatings (mihṣu). A₁ will give proof that he fully received (mahāru eṭēru) the money and guarantees (pūtu našû) that his brother A₂ won’t litigate (dabābu). This is apart from (elat) the previous document (šaṭāru) concerning 3(+) minas and [x] shekels of silver, share of A₁, paid by B. It is also apart from the 8 shekels of silver paid in the previous tablet. 26 witnesses and the scribe.

A₁ = Nusku-īnāya, brother of A₂; A₂ = Ba-Ilteri-ahatta/Nusku-ayalu, brother of A₁; B = Marduk-rēmanni/Bēl-uballiṭ//Ṣāhit-ginê; Scribe = Bēl-ahhē-iddin/Nabû-tabtani-uṣur//Šangû-Šamaš
