Paraphrase

Bēl-ēṭir/Bēl-uballiṭ//Amīl-Ea and Ardia/Itti-Bēl-abnu owe Eanna 10;0 dates, the impost (imittu) of the field that is the alloted property (bīt ritti) of Itti-Bēl-abnu and the field of Innin-zēru-ušebši/Mukīn-zēri, 2 sections (bābu) located by the (tp)Bānītu Canal (nār Bānītu). It is a part of the rent (sūtu) of (the rent farmer, ša muḫḫi sūti) Ardia/Nabû-bān-aḫi//Rēmūt-Ea.

They will deliver these dates in m.VII in one installment, at the enclosure (ḫaṣāru), in the measure of the Lady of Uruk. (With each 1;0 dates), they will give 0;0.1.4 ½ as the “mortar” (kiṣir esitti)-tax and the “life for Bēl” (balāṭ Bēl, balāṭu ana Bēl)-tax. They will also give standard additional products.

2 witnesses.

Scribe: Nabû-bēlšunu/Ištar-šumu-ēreš//Ea-ilūtu-bāni.

 

The last sign in the name of Itti-Bēl-abnu resembles NIM, but it is probably intended to be the rebus spelling NA4 = abnu, as in YOS 19, 111: 38.
