B should pay 2 2/3 minas of white, medium-quality silver, of which 1/8 is alloy, that are due from him to A in Simān (III) of the 17th year in Babylon. He does not have to pay interest (ina qaqqadi). However, should he fail to meet the deadline, the debt will start to bear a yearly interest of 20% to be paid on a monthly basis. Names of 11 witnesses and the scribe.
