Paraphrase

Erībšu/Ṭāb-Uruk (E) and Kīnāya/Nabû-balāssu-iqbi//Mādidu (K) assume responsibility for Nādinu/Arad-Innin to Zēria/Ibnāya//Egibi (Z), the High Priest (šatammu) of Eanna, and the scribes of Eanna. When they will summon them (rēšu našû), they will bring N (abāku) and hand him over to Zēria/Ibnāya//Egibi (Z), the High Priest (šatammu) of Eanna.

If they do not bring (him), they will pay 2 minas of silver in exchange for a credit (rāšûtu) owed by N to the Lady of Uruk. They will stand surety for one another. 

This is apart (elat) from a previous credit charged against E. 

In the presence of Ayyigāšu, the Keeper of the Royal Box in Eanna (ša rēš šarri ša muḫḫi quppi ša Eanna).

4 witnesses and the scribe Mūrānu/Nabû-bān-aḫi//Ekur-zakir
