Paraphrase

Letter of Aḫḫēa to Marduk-ēṭir (/Bēl-šumu-iškun//Dābibī, Temple Scribe, ṭupšar bīti), “his lord”, informing him that he gave 23 shekels of silver to oblates (širku) in the month Abu in the form of 1 talent and 9 minas of wool. 10 minas of wool of Bēl-iddin are left (reḫtu). He also confirms that the tin about which the recipient talked has been deposited.
