Summary of Content | Contract about apportionment of slaves between Mahseiha and Jedaniah sons of Nathan. They dived between them two of Mibtahiahh's four Egyptian slaves, both branded with their mother's name. Petosiri is assigned to Jedaniah and Bela to Mahseiah. Mother Tabi and her third child Lilu were left for future division. Written by an Aramaen scribe the document was attested by four Jewish witnesses. |

1 Note the grammatical singular "said / says," the rest which is in M.'s voice, and the endorsement: M. wrote for J. 2 cf. Grelot, p. 205 n. b. Also, perhaps "a lord's slave" referring to the class of service, cf. el Amarna (Akk.) pawuru "lord" a loan from Egy. where "pa" is an Egyptian determinitive and not needed in Aramaic.
