The inscription says: “Concerning 12 ½ shekels of silver, for which Balamu-namḫe had Ilīma-Ilum son of Saniqum make out a sealed document, and for which Sîn-imguranni is in receipt of 12 ½ shekels of silver from Ilīma-Ilum, if the sealed document of Ilīma-Ilum that Balamu-namḫe had him make out shall turn up, it shall be broken. Thirtieth day of the tenth month of the first year of Samsuiluna, king of Babylon.” Transfer from the Department of Religion, Mount Holyoke CollegeDigitised by Laura Weston, 2019 - lmweston@mtholyoke.edu
