ב למרחשון שנת 2 עבידו לבני גורו חנטן כרן שבעה סאן תרתין פלג קב

[On the x of Ma]rcheshvan, year 2, Ubaydu[of the sons of G]uru: wheat, kors, seven;[seahs, tw]o; hal<f> a qab.

Seven kors of wheat is considered to be a significant payment. In the inscription, the scribe has combined the words פלג and קב into one (פלקב) to mean "half a qab;" the final ב of this word is written with a flourish.
