Contract of adoption

Enlil-šumu-ibni/Kinūnāja adopted Kūsu-nāṣir/Dummuqāja and gifted him his benefices and all of his possessions through the contract of adoption. As long as Enlil-šumu-ibni lives, Kūsu-nāṣir will take care of him.

Anyone who breaches (batāqu) the contract will have to pay 5 minas of silver.

8 witnesses and the scribe:  Arkât-En[lil-kīn]/Ekur-gamil
