piqitti) of Eanna; Gabbi-ilāni-šarru-uṣur, the royal resident (qīpu) if Eanna; Nabû-udammiq/Šamaš-zēru-ibni; Arad-Innin/Amēl-Nanāya; Ina-tēšî-eṭir/Nanāya-ēreš; Aplāya/Innin-zēru-ušabši; Arad-Nanāya/Arad-Innin; Zēriya/Nergal-aḫu-iddin; Innin-zēru-ušabši/Nergal-ušēzib; Ištar-zēru-ibni/Ša-Nabû-tašmēt and Dummuq/Aplāya are the captains of fifty and ten.

They are with Marduk-nāṣir/Šūzubu, the scribe,
Nargi-Ištar/Kalbāya, the scribe writing in Aramaic and the messengers of Šumu-ukīn to check (takālu) the oblates (šerku) of the Lady-of-Uruk. The captains of fifty Nabû-udammiq and Arad-Innin as well as Ina-tēšî-eṭir, a summoner (dēkû) and the captains of ten have all sworn an oath (tamû) in front of Bēl, Nabû, the Lady of Uruk, Nanāya, Nabonidus, the king of Babylon, and Bēl-šarru-uṣur, son of the king.

The oath says that they should be cursed if they hide (pašīru) any oblates of the Lady-of-Uruk. They will inscribe (šaṭāru) them all on the writing board. Further they should be cursed if they make a mistake inscribing them. Whoever hides the oblates of the Lady-of-Uruk will bear the guilt of the crime against the king and his son.

Names 5 witnesses and the scribe: Šumāya/Ibni-Ištar//ašlāku
