Paraphrase

A female donkey and its foal, which he had given (nadānu) as tithe (ešrû) to the temple, are (mng.: remain) at the disposal (ina pāni, text has ina muḫḫi) of Šamaš-aḫu-iddin/Marduk-ēṭir//Kurī. Every year he will deliver a bow for the king to the Lady of Uruk as quit rent (mandattu) for the donkey. All foals she bears under his care will belong to the Lady of Uruk. He shall not lead her to Sippar (alternatively: [ud].ud.ki= Larak, see commentary in Kleber 2008, p. 97). 

The text was written in the presence of (ina ušuzzi) Sîn-iddin, the Royal Resident (qīpu).

4 witnesses are listed. The scribe is Šumāya/Ibni-Ištar//Ašlāku, in Uruk.
