Paraphrase

From Nbn 10.III.15 onward, Gimillu/Ardia (G) leases out the maššaktu-income of a reed-worker prebend (atkuppūtu) in the Eanna, incluing his share of the regular (ginû) and occasional offerings (guqqû). The annual rent is 7 shekels of silver, to be paid by Šamaš-šumu-ukīn/Šulāya//Mādidu, Ibni-Ištar/Bēl-upaḫḫir, and Ibnāya/Nabû-nāṣir//Nabû-šar-ilāni (I).

G will hand over (to them) the allowance(?) (kurummatu) of the reed-worker service from the (temple's) treasury, and half of the silver is to be paid by I.

2 witnesses and the scribe: Eanna-šumu-ibni/Aḫḫēšāya
