Paraphrase
Purchase of a garden: A purchases a date garden (kirî gišimmari) from B1. The purchase price (which is not preserved) corresponds to the claim (rašûtu) towards B2, the father of the seller, and, hence, is in fact not handed over; instead the garden serves as compensation. The transferred garden is located in the district (erṣetu) of the royal canal (nār šarri) in the meadowland (ugāru) of Uruk. Its upper side borders on (the property of) C1, its lower side on (the property of) C2 and its lower front on hanšû-land. Its upper front, which measures 230 cubits (115 m), follows the royal canal (nār šarri). No cardinal directions are given in the record. 9 witnesses and the scribe. Fingernail impression (ṣupru) of the seller. The same type of procedure is recorded in BM118977.
