To the king, my lord: your servant Gabbu-ana-Aššur.

As to the orders that the king, my lord, gave me concerning the watch of the Urarṭian, ever since I entered Kurbail my messengers have been going back and forth to Nabû-le'i, Aššur-belu-uda''an and Aššur-reṣuwa.

We have not [gotten] a whiff of anybody or anything. Everybody is doing h[is] work, there is no hostility at all.

We keep hearing as follows: "The Urarṭian has not come out of Ṭurušpâ." Nevertheless, [w]e are ke[eping] the watch about which the k[ing, my lord,] ga[ve] me orders — we are not negligent.

I arrived in Kurbail on the 16th day of Tammuz (IV), and am sending (this) letter to the king, my lord, on the 20th of Ab (V).
