Paraphrase

(Note for) gold, royal property (makkūr šarri), which was prepared for use (ša ana dulli epšu): 16.128 shekels are at the disposal of Tattannu for the plating (mandītu) of wooden boxes (quppu, qup-pat giš?); 1.25 shekels for nails (šurû) are at the disposal of the goldsmith Nādinu. Rev. uninscribed, no date. The tablet can be dated to the early Achaemenid period, roughly to the reign of Cambyses, on the basis of prosopography and palaeography. The uninscribed reverse displays the impression of a textile wrapping of some sort.
