Paraphrase

Ṣillāya/Marduk-šarrani swears by Jupiter (nēberu), Sirius (mul.gag.si.sá), and the majesty (adê) of Nbk. that he will not hide (ana pašīru šakānu) sheep and goats, but bring all of his animals to the Lady of Uruk. He shall carry out the order(s) of the king (amat šarri šalāmu Š). Else, that is, if he hides living sheep and goats from the Lady of Uruk, he will bear the punishment (ḫīṭu) of the king, and he will repay (lit.: I will repay) the animals thirtyfold.   

6 witnesses.

Scribe: Innin-zēru-ušebši/Balāssu.
