Paraphrase

1 minas 10 shekels of bronze are put at the disposal of Bēl-ibni/Nabû-zēru-ibni for … (ka-pi-lu.meš, maybe a word *kapīlu “coil” vel sim.) and bronze šapātu (bronze rims?)

For the first word, cf. CST 174 (ka-šal-lu-a-ta, likewise made of bronze and perhaps to be emended to ka-pi-lu-a-ta in the light of this text).

The protagonist is to be identified as Bēl-ibni/Nabû-zēru-ibni//Nappāḫu, see Zadok, Isimu 20-21, 353 C.1.1.3. This establishes the dating of the tablet (no royal name given in the text) to the reign of Nabopolassar.
