(6) [As to what the king, o]ur [lord], w[rote to us]: "[...] to [...]!" The king, ou[r] lord, [knows] whether we have ever left our watch or been negligent in our watch since the king, our lord, appointed u[s] to [our] watc[h]. The territory before us is extensive. Five stages of territory square, forty length units, is the stretch of a watch for cavalry with archers. We have several times written to the house of our lords about the horses. Now we are keeping watch with archers (only) and praying to the gods of the king, our lord.
