This is an Akkadian (Old Babylonian dialect) contract of marriage between Bāštum and Rīmum. The text records their marriage agreement and what consequences each will face should either initiate a divorce. The parties swear this covenant by the gods Šamaš (the Sun god) and Marduk (the God of Babylon) as well as the king and their city.
