Paraphrase

Tabnēa/Itti-Bēl-tabni, Gimillu/Nūrea, Lâbâši/Šamaš-aḫu-iddin, Idī-il/Iddin-Nabû, Nargia/Bēlšunu are the freemen (mār banî), in the presence of whom Gimillu/Innin-šumu-ibni (G) asked to Nabû-šumu-iddin/Aplāya (NŠI) what happened with the cow of the Lady-of-Uruk that was branded with a star (šendu) and under his responsibility. NŠI responded that Balṭia/Innin-zēru-uballiṭ (B) leased the cow (našû ina idi) annually since m.III for 4;0 of barley and 0;1.4 of sesame since Nbn.17.III. NŠI guarantees for B, and the day he will testify (kanû D), he will clear him, if not, he shall pay thirtyfold (the price of the cow) to the Lady-of-Uruk. 

G brought the cow and put it under the responsibility of NŠI. The u'iltu-tablet that NŠI and B wrote together, NŠI will give it to G.

scribe: Nabû-bēlšunu/Nūrea (G’s brother, one of the freemen?)
