Paraphrase

Šamaš-aḫu-iddin/Mār-Esagil-nībī//Miṣirāya (ŠAI) bears responsibility for the presence of (pūt šēpē našû) Kurbanni-Marduk/Iqīšāya//Bābūtu (KM) (aka vouches for him) to Nabû-aḫḫē-bulliṭ/Ša-Nabû-šū (NAB), scribe of Eanna. KM will measure out (mašāḫu) dates and he will give (nadānu) them to Bēl-aḫḫē-iqīša (BAI), in accordance with his impost (imittu). Additionally, he will bring (abāku) Etellu (E) to BAI and give (nadānu) him to him. If he brings less dates than his impost and/or he has not brought E, then ŠAI will deliver KM to NAB.

2 witnesses are listed. The scribe is Innin-zēru-ušabši/Nanaya-uṣalli, in (tp)Nēberu-ša-dūri.
