The land is located along the marsh (raqqatu) of Aṣūnu in the meadowland (ugāru) of Dilbat and forms part of the hanšû-land of C. Its upper side borders on (the property of) the buyer and the lower side on (the property of) D. The upper front borders on the irrigation district (tamirtu) of Nagū and the lower front on the drain channel (ārittu) of the property of the diviner (bīt bārî). The purchased land covers an area of 0;2.5 kor (7,650 m2). 5 witnesses and the scribe, also defined as writer of the tablet (šāṭir ṭuppi). Instead of a seal impression (kunukku), fingernail impressions (ṣupru) of the two sellers.
