Paraphrase

9 men owe Eanna a total of 2 minas of silver. (Individual items:) 1 1/3 mina minus ¼ shekel of silver, 3 talents and 1 mina of wool worth (lit.: for, ana) 2/3 minas and ¼ shekel of silver. They will deduct (naḫāsu) it from their silver [...] for m.VI – m.IX. Mutual guarantee.

Those 9 men are: Nabû-iqīša/Šamaš-zēru-ibni, Ibni-Ištar/Nabû-iqīša, Innin-zēru-ušebši/Nabû-aḫu-iddin, Gimillu/Aḫu-lūmur, Nabû-bēlšunu/Nabû-ušebši, Šūzubu/Nanāya-ēreš, Nergal-ušēzib of the king, Nabû-ṣābit-qātē/Ya-iltappu, and Namrī-[...]/Šumu-ukīn.

8 witnesses.

Scribe: Anu-šumu-ibni/Ibni-Ištar//Ašlāku.

Restoration of the scribeʼs family name based on PTS 3012, and restoration of the number of the year ([MU.20]+19) based on the price of the wool; see Kleber 2017: 183.
