Summa of the debts awine be [= owed by] the deid iii c lxxxx lib [= £390]
Rests of frie geir the debts deduced vi c lib [= £600]
To be divydit in [    ] deids pt [= deid's part] is ii c lib [= £200]
followes the deids legacies & lr will [= latterwill]
I Rot Lockhart mer [= merchant] burges of Edinburgh knowing yt [= that]

In the margin it says quota x lib. The quota was the payment made to the commissary court - a twentieth of the estate, in this case £10.

The deid's pairt is the third of the moveable estate which the deceased could leave in legacies as he wished, the other two thirds went to his family by right.
