(6) I wrote down whatever signs there were, be they celestial, terrestrial or of malformed births, and had them recited in front of Šamaš, one after the other. They (the substitute king and queen) were treated with wine, washed with water and anointed with oil; I had those birds cooked and made them eat them. The substitute king of the land of Akkad took the signs on himself.

(14) He cried out: "Because of what ominous sign have you enthroned a substitute king?" And he claims: "Say [in] the presence of the 'farmer': on the eve[ning of the xth, we were drinking w]ine. Ṣallaya gave b[ribes] to his servant Nabû-[uṣalli] and meanwhile he inquired about Nikkal-iddina, Šamaš-ibni, and Na'id-Marduk, speaking about upheaval of the country: 'Seize the fortified places one after another!' He is to be watched (carefully); he should no (longer) belong to the entourage of the 'farmer.' His servant Nabû-uṣalli should be questioned he will spill everything."
