Paraphrase

Arad-Gula/Šamaš-iqīša, messenger (mār šipri) of Širikti-Ninurta <šandabakku>, gives (nadānu) the men/slaves, who are pledged in the debt note (ina u'iltu ṣabātu) of Naraggu, to Nabû-zēru-iddin/Mušēzib-Nabû and Abīya-Bēl/Ê-râm.

2 witnesses and scribe Kidinnu/Pir'.

Men/slaves: the beginning of the line should contain either the pledged item or, following Širikti-Ninurta’s name, lú.gú.en.na as his title. The latter is certainly not written out, and the former cannot be reconciled with the signs on the tablet (lú diš/me en). The possibility of slave(s) interprets lú diš as ìr, without a preceding lú.
