Final settlement of a dispute concerning land: This record documents the settlement of a dispute concerning a plot of arable land planted with date palms (zēru gišimmarē zaqpu), located between the marsh (raqqatu) and the wasteland (kišubbû), part of the meadowland (ugāru) of the city of Ṭabānu in the district (pīhatu) of Borsippa. On the 12th of Nisān (I) of Darius 31st year A put a claim (paqāru šakānu) on this land against (ina muhhi) B. On the 2nd of Ayyār (II) of the same year A paid the full price of 7 minas and 17 ½ shekels of white scrap silver (kaspu peṣû nuhhutu) by 1/8 alloy silver (bitqu) per shekel, but B did not transfer the land. Now it was decided that B will give back the full amount of silver to A. In return A will give B a tablet of the dispute (ṭuppi dīni) and (the promise) of not lodging a claim (ragāmu) to the field (eqlu) for whose arable land B will give A and his brothers 1 2/3 mina 7 ½ shekels of silver, remainder (rēhtu) of the price of the field. The dispute is settled in the presence of (ina mahar) 2 judges (dayyānu) (Mušallim-Marduk//Rēmūt-Bēl and Bēl-ittannu//Bēl-eṭēru) and 2 scribes (ṭupšarru) (Mušēzib-Bēl//Egibi and Arad-Nabû//Rē’i-sisê). Four seal impressions.
 
A = Bēl-erība/Rēmūt-Bēl//[…]; B = Ahušunu/Nabû-mušētiq-uddi//Nanāhu
