Paraphrase

A document regarding 90;0 barley, property of Eanna, due from Marduk-aplu-uṣur/Nabû-šumu-libši (MAU). He has to pay it for (kūm) 3;0 barley which (the functionary for the) royal report (mandētu) had deposited (paqādu), and which MAU took from a ...-man of the Lady of Uruk. (MAU) had declared that he did not take it, (and that?) a no-return and no-contest (tablet) (lā târu u lā dabābi) from Eanna was given to him. (But then) a witness testified (kânu D) that these [3;0] barley was seen in his (i.e. MAU’s) possession (lit. came up, elû). Instead of (those) 3;0 barley he has to give 90;0 barley to the Lady of Uruk. The no-return and no-contest tablet, which he had from Eanna, is (considered) invalid.

4 witnesses, including Marduk-erība/Zērūtu, Governor (šākin ṭēmi) of Uruk.

Scribe: Balāssu/Iddināya//Nabāya.
