Paraphrase

Marduk-nāṣir/Bēl-aḫu-iddin (MN) owes Kalūmu/Nabû-ēṭir (K) 2.5 minas of silver, for which he guaranteed (pūtu našû) to (ina qātē) Nabû-šumu-ušebši. The debt will bear an interest of 10 shekels per mina (per year = 16.66%). 

A prebend before Nanāya and all the assets (mimmûšu ša āli u ṣēri) of MN are placed as security (maškanu) for the debt. No other creditor (rāšû) will dispose (šalāṭu) of them until K receives his silver in full (šalāmu).

4 witnesses.

Scribe: Marduk-erība/Šumāya.
