Paraphrase
Purchase of fallow land: The temple of Ištar of Uruk and Nanāya purchases three fallow fields for 87 shekels of silver in pieces (šibirtu) from the two brothers B1 and B2, sons of B3 who is the actual owner of the field. The sold land is located in the district (erṣetu) of the Šamaš Gate inside Uruk. The transaction is concluded in the presence of (ina ušuzzi) the royal resident (qīpu) of Eanna (Šamaš-ilāya) and the scribe of Eanna (Širikti-Marduk/Nabû-ušallim//Hunzu’). 6 witnesses and the scribe.
