Paraphrase

Bēl-gimlanni/Madān-ēreš (Bg), the Keeper of the Royal Box (ša muḫḫi quppi) of Eanna and a temple oblate (širku), Bēl-iddin/Sîn-ēreš//Ibni-ilī, the High Priest (šatammu), Nergal-šarru-uṣur, the Royal Resident (qīpu), and Barik-ili, the Royal Overseer (ša rēš šarri bēl piqitti) ask for the fixed rent (sūtu) of Gimillu (G), a temple oblate, to be given to Bg, since G did not fulfill his obligations of 10000;0 kor of barley and 12000;0 kor of dates. G is quoted asking for more funds.

The rent farm is given to Bg's disposal from m.IV. He will additional give 10 bulls to the fattening sheds in m.VII. Standard rent clauses and clauses about additional payments for the dates follow.
