| obverse 11 | “No estate Amat-šamaš gave you |
| obverse 12 | and a document did not write for you. |
| obverse 13 | After her death |
| obverse 14 | you wrote yourself!” |
| obverse 15 | thus have said. So |

| reverse 4 | had given the house and written a document, |
| reverse 5 | have declared so the judges |
| reverse 6 | have brought them (Nidnuša and Šamaš-āpilī) to trial and |

| reverse 10 | Nidnuša, Šamaš-āpilī |
| reverse 11 | and the (lit. her) brothers of Amat-šamaš, any of as much, house, moveables and utensils |

| reverse 13 | are not to claim. |
| reverse 14 | Among the (lit. her) brothers of Amat-šamaš, whoever comes to them |
| reverse 15 | and brings a suit, as they (Nidnuša and Šamaš-āpilī), in their place (lit. like them) |
| reverse 16 | settled (the dispute), they themselves (the original plaintiffs) will be responsible. |
