Paraphrase
Purchase of a prebend: A purchases a share (isqu) of the prebend of the baker (nuhatimmūtu) before Nanāya for 5 days, from the 16th to the 20th of Ṭebēt (X), for 1 2/3 minas of silver in pieces (šibirtu), together with an additional payment (atru) of 2 shekels of silver, from B. The transaction is concluded in the presence of (ina ušuzzi) the governor (šākin ṭēmi) of Uruk (Nabû-udammiq). 4 witnesses  (including Nergal-ibni, son of the governor) and the scribe. The transaction takes place in a year of "locking of the gate" (edel bābi). Instead of a seal impression (kunukku), fingernail impression (ṣupru) of the seller.
