Paraphrase

Aplāya/Enlil-aḫḫē-bulliṭ (A), the cowherd (rē’u lītu), owes (ina muḫḫi) 1;0 barley. This is the principal (qaqqadu) from the temple’s property (makkūr Enlil), which is handled by (ina qatē) Aqarā, Zēru-kitti-līšir, and Enlil-iddin, the temple scribes (ṭupšar Ekur).

A will repay the barley in Art II 02.II in the storehouse (bīt kalakku) of Nippur at a rate of 1;0 for 1;1.4; that is, according to the measure of the Ekur temple (mašīḫu ša Enlil).

This is apart from the remaining barley owed by Enlil-aḫḫē-bulliṭ, which has already been distributed.
