Paraphrase

Aptalaḫ-ilī/Ṣillāya and his brother Mādu-ilī/Ṣillāya owe Eanna 70;0 dates, the impost (imittu) of the field of the Lady of Uruk in the (tp)Compound of Niguḫeans (ḫuṣṣetu ša uru.Niguḫāya). The obligation includes 20;0 dates, the yield (ebūru) in Nbn. 02; 10;0 dates, the rest of the yield in Nbn. 03; and 40;0, the impost in Nbn. 05.

They will pay in m.VII, in the measure of the Lady of Uruk. With the dates, they will deliver standard date by-products. Their sissinnu-remuneration has been paid. Mutual guarantee. Separately, they will pay Eanna 4 shekels of silver in m.VII.

The dates are part of the rent (sūtu) of Šumu-ukīn/Bēl-zēri//Basia, the rent farmer (ša muḫḫi sūti) of the Lady of Uruk.
