Paraphrase

The weavers (išparu) Ṭāb-Uruk and Nanāya-ēreš have delivered (maḫāru) fabrics weighing a total of 2 minas and 23 shekels of red wool (tabarru): 1 guzguzu-fabric (túglum-lum) for a chariot (narkabtu), and (accessories) for chariots, (made of) red wool dyed with ḫatḫurētu-dye. These garments were then sent via them (ina qātē abālu Š) to Babylon.

 For ḫatḫurētu-dye see Kleber 2017: 38.
