Summary: | The paper presents the edition of cuneiform tablet BM 102353, from Yorġān Tepe (ancient Nuzi).

The text presumably was written during the fourth generation of Teḫip-Tilla's family. It is an antichretic contract in which a young girl is lent, and therefore some comments on children in the documentary evidence from the Kingdom of Arrapḫe are in order. |
