(7) The king, my lord, keeps on saying to me: "Why do you not diagnose the nature of this illness of mine and bring about its cure?" formerly I spoke to the king at the audience and could not clarify his symptoms. Now I am sealing and sending a letter; it should be read to the king, to inform the king, my lord. If it suits the king, my lord, let the haruspices perform an extispicy on account of this.

(20) Let the king apply this lotion (sent with the letter), and perhaps this fever will leave the king, my lord. I have prepared this lotion of oil for the king, my lord, (already) 2 or 3 times the king knows it. If the king prefers, he may apply it tom[orrow]. It will remove the illness.
