Paraphrase

Letter order (by Mūrānu, Royal Overseer, ša rēš šarri bēl piqitti, and at least the temple scribe Sūqāya, ṭupšarru ša Eanna, according to the sealings) to Tattannu, "their brother", ordering him to hand out dates from their (i.e., the receiving mens') allowances (kurummatu) to Ubār and Ilu-dannu-aḫḫēšu-ibni, water drawers (dālû) of the pleasure garden (kirimaḫḫu). After the date, and starting on the reverse, further date allocations are mentioned: to Arad-Kusu (and) Nādin-aḫi (possibly /Innin-šumu-uṣur), weaver(s), to Sūqāya, the man of the impaired people (?) (lú šá uk?-ku-du-u?) and to Šadūnu, a carpenter.
