Witness list written at the beginning of the text. Within this witness list, the scribe made an effort to write one name per line, and to write the filiation as one uniform block, sometimes leaving empty space between first name and filiation, and writing over the right edge when family names were also used.

Paraphrase

In front of 10 witnesses (listed at the beginning), Sîn-iddin, the Royal Resident (qīpu) of Eanna and the scribes of Eanna (tupšarrū ša Eanna) opened (petû) the document (lē’u) of the oblates (širku) of the Lady of Uruk (and) showed it (kullumu) to Zababa-ēreš/Nabê-ḫāta and Ḫira-dannu/Rēmūtu. Marduk/Nabû-ušallim and his brothers are listed (šaṭāru) in the register of the Lady of Uruk with the runners (musaḫḫiru) of the king. 

The scribe is Eanna-šumu-ibni/Aḫḫēšāya, in Uruk.
