(5) Concerning the ritual about which the king said yesterday: "Get it done by the 24th day" we cannot make it; the tablets are too numerous, (god only knows) when they will be written. Even the preparation of the figurines which the king saw (yesterday) took us 5 to 6 days.

(r 1) And concerning the Sumerian texts of the counterspells about which the king said: "Send (word)! They should be brought from Nineveh!" I shall send Iddin-ahhe; he will go and bring them. He will also bring with him the other tablets of the 'refrain series.' Let the king perform (his part) on the 2nd of Tebet (X), the crown prince on the 4th and the people on the 6th.
