[recto] [Recto] This should be known by the common mandarins of Tirah: the Honourable Songga of Pabayeman, the Honourable Carita of Purut, the vizir of Lajer. They should know that We have / fixed the territory of a patih tambak(1) of Karang Bogem. Its southern boundary is the open field. Its eastern boundary all level ground coming right up to the sea. / Its western boundary is the clearing of wild demung shrubs coming right up to the sea. Its land for terraced rice-fields is one jung(2), its clearings one kikil(3). So shall it be limited. Do not allow it to be disturbed. / Now there is a kawula(4) of mine from Gresik, a fisherman, who has a debt of exactly 120.000 [cash]. As well as he can he takes assistants, fishermen. Now they shall be free from the claim from / Sidayu, but they have to meet the claim from the Interior. At Galangan Kawolu they shall bring in acan(5) weighing one thousand [cash] for each holder of a tambak(6). The rest of [the produce of] / the fish-pond shall be brought in to Us. Now there are traders, anggogondoks, sugarpalm-tappers; they shall be free from arik-purih dues of all kinds. They now shall be liable to the pamuja (7) /
