show, 16, 73, 78, If a tenant farmer has not produced barley or sesame in a field, he will not alter his contracts.

show, 38, 61, 62, If he does not have the silver for the repayment he shall give the merchant (grain or)³⁵ sesame at their current prices for the silver which he received from the merchant and the interest on it, in accordance with the decision of the king., ³⁵ Only sesame is mentioned in the text, but presumably this is a scribal error (see §50).

show, 34, 43, 25, šum-ma eḳlam ir-ša-am u lu-u eḳil šamaššammim ir-ša-am id-di-in šeʾam u šamaššammam ša i-na eḳlim ib-ba-aš-šu-u be-el eḳli-ma i-li-ḳi-ma kaspam u ṣi-ba-zu a-na tamkarim u-ta-ar, no

show, 38, 61, 62, If he has given him a field already set (with grain)³⁴ or a field already set with sesame, it is the owner of the field who should collect whatever grain may be produced from the field and repay the merchant the silver and the interest., ³⁴ The omission of the word corn seems to be a scribal error (see §51).

show, 14, 368, 408, šum-ma a-wi-lum KUG.BABBAR it-ti DAM.GÀR il-qé-ma A.ŠÀ ep-še-tim ša ŠE ù lu ŠE.GIŠ.Ì a-na DAM.GÀR id-di-in A.ŠÀ e-ri-iš-ma ŠE ù lu-ú ŠE.GIŠ.Ì ša ib-ba-aš-šu-ú e-si-ip ta-ba-al iq-bi-šum šum-ma er-re-šum i-na A.ŠÀ ŠE ù lu ŠE.GIŠ.Ì uš-tab-ši i-na ebūrim (BURU₁₄) ŠE ù ŠE.GIŠ.Ì ša i-na A.ŠÀ ib-ba-aš-šu-ú be-el A.ŠÀ-ma i-le-qé-ma ŠE ša KUG.BABBAR-šu ù ṣi-ba-sú ša it-ti DAM.GÀR il-qú-ú ù ma-na-ḫa-at e-re-ši-im a-na DAM.GÀR i-na-ad-di-in, no

show, 16, 94, 99, If a man received silver from a merchant and gave the merchant a field prepared for barley or for sesame, (and) said “cultivate the field and collect and take for yourself the barley or sesame that grows,” if a cultivator produced barley or sesame in the field, at harvest time it is the owner of the field who will receive the barley or sesame that grow in the field, and then he will give the merchant the barley (worth the amount) of his silver and its interest that he received from the merchant, as well as the maintenance amounts of the cultivating.

show, 38, 58, 59, šumma awīlum ḫubullum¹⁸⁷ elišu ibaššīma eqelšu Adad irtaḫiṣ u lu bibbulum itbal u lu ina la mê šeʾum ina eqlim la ittabši ina šattim šuāti šeʾam ana bēl ḫubullišu ul utâr. ṭuppašu uraṭṭab u ṣibtam ša šattim šuāti ul inaddin., yes, ¹⁸⁷ If this word is the subject of the sentence, as the inflection suggests, awīlum is left hanging until its function within the clause is defined by elīšu (with its resumptive pronoun). Alternatively, the verb bāšû may be deemed not to have an object as such but rather a complement, which is inflected with the subject marker. But since CVC signs are less precise about vowel quality than the other phonetic types of sign, the inflection /am/ may be intended.

show, 38, 59, 60, If a man has incurred a debt and The Storm has eroded away his field, or a flood has overwhelmed it, or if grain has not been produced from the field because of a lack of water, he need not repay grain to his creditor for that year. He shall moisten³² the tablet and pay no installment for that year., ³² Presumably it was possible to moisten a sun-dried tablet sufficiently to change the date that interest became payable. Alternatively it may be an idiomatic expression meaning 'to waive the terms of a contract'; Roth: 'he shall suspend performance of his contract'.
