[Šamaš, great lord, give me a firm positive answer to what I am asking you]!

[From this day, the 22nd day of this month, Sivan (III), to the 21st day of the following month, Tammuz (IV), of this year, for 30 days and nights], the stip[ulated term for the performance of (this) extispicy — within this stipulated term],

will the troops of the S[cyth]ia[ns, which have been staying in the district of Mannea and which are (now) moving out from the territory] of Mannea, strive and plan?

Will they move out and go through the passes [of Hubuškia] to the city Harrania (and) the city Anisus? Will they take much plunder and heavy booty from the territory of [Assyria]? Does your great divinity [know it]?

Is it decreed and confirmed in a [favorable] case, by the command of your great divinity, Šamaš, [great lo]rd? Will he who can see, see it? Will he who can hear, [hear it]?

Disregard the (formulation) of today's case, be it good, be it fa[ulty].

Disregard that a clean or an unclean person [has touched] the sacrificial sheep, or block[ed the way of the sacrificial sheep].

Disregard that an unclean man or woman has come near the [place] of the extispicy [and made it unclean].

Disregard that an unclean person has [performed] extispicy in this place.

Disregard that the ram (offered) to your divinity for the performance of the extispicy is deficient [or faulty].

Disregard that he who touches the foreh[ead] of the sheep [is dressed in] his ordinary soi[led] garments, has eaten, drunk, or anointed himself with [anything unclean], (or) has altered or changed the proceedings.

Disregard that the oracle query [has become jumb]led in the mouth of the haruspex, your servant.

Let them be taken out and put aside!

I ask you [Šamaš, great lord], whether from [thi]s day, the 22nd day of this month, [Sivan (III) of this year], to the 21st day [of] the coming [month], Tammuz (IV) of [this] year, [for 30 days and nights],

the Scythian troops which are in the district of M[annea will move out and go] through the pass[es of] Hubuškia to the city H[arrania] and the city A[nisu]s, [and take much plunder, heavy booty, from the territory] of Assyria.

(Break)

Month Sivan, 22nd day, [eponym year of NN.]

Per[formed] by Saya and Marduk-šumu-uṣur.
