According to A this field does not reach from Dukkuindu to the lowland (ušallu) of the Gubbatu Canal. After it has been decided that both have to go to the ordeal (huršānu), B brings and hands over (našû-nadānu) ½ mina and 3 shekels of silver to A. A voluntarily (ina hūd libbišu) gives a sealed tablet to B in which he promises not to return to this issue and litigate against him again. 5 witnesses and the scribe.
 
A = Ša-Nabû-šû; B = Munnabittu; C = Bēl-lē’i, governor (šākin ṭēmi) of Babylon; Scribe = Balāssu//Bēl-ēṭir
