Paraphrase

Kidinnu/Šadûnu//Lultammir-Adad (K) put 1 mina of silver at the disposal (ina pāni) of Marduk-ēṭir/Mušēzibu//Ekur-zakir (ME) for a business venture (ḫarrānu). He will share the profits equally with ME.

The 2 witnesses that are listed are ME’s father (Mušēzibu/Nergal-ēpuš//Ekur-zakir) and K’s brother (Mukīn-Marduk/Šadûnu/Lultammir-Adad). The scribe is Marduk-šāpik-zēri/Balāssu//Arad-Ea, written in Babylon, in the administrative office (bīt mašenni).

Note: The text is identical in content to YBC 6865, and can therefore be dated to the reign of Nabopolassar.
