On Cam. 5.XII.13 (wrongly copied as year 4) Ibni-Nabû (IN), a temple oblate (širku) and gatekeeper (atû) of the granary (bīt karê), had accused Anu-šarru-uṣur (Ašu)(his co-worker) before Nabû-mukīn-apli (Nma), the High Priest (šatammu) of Eanna and Bēl-ēṭir-Nabû, a royal courtier (ša rēš šarri) appointed (paqādu) to Eanna, and an assembly of freemen (mār banî): Ašu has been taking (aṣû Š) many things from the granary for 10 years.
Nma questions IN further and asks for evidence which IN cannot provide. So, Nma questions other gatekeepers of the granary, Ardia, Nabû-eṭēri-ile''i, and Lūṣi-ana-nūri. They swear by the gods that Ašu did not take anything and that they saw nothing.
IN confesses by oath that he falsely accused (ana tikki nadû, lā amat qabû) Ašu because he had repeatedly antagonized him (zêru).
The final verdict by Nma against IN is broken.
7 witnesses, and the scribe Nabû-mukīn-apli/Marduk-šumu-iddin//Balāṭu.
