To the king, my lord: your servant Ša-Aššur-dubbu. The best of health to the king, my lord!

The forts and the land of the king, my lord, are well.

I sent two eunuchs of mine with six soldiers and a seal(ed order) for the deserters in Penzâ; they went off with two cohort commanders and had the men brought down.

They had dinner there; the brother of the Šubrian (king) too dined with them there.

They set out together and were on their way home, when the Šubrians attacked them from an ambush and captured my two eunuchs and the six soldiers. Both of my cohort commanders escaped.

I wrote him: "Release the soldiers!" but he said: "I will inquire (into the matter); [i]f they are in my country, I shall give them back."

I [se]t out on their trail personally, but they had (already) taken the soldiers up to his fort.

The king, my lord, should send word that the prefects of the royal Taziru and Itu'u (troops) holding (fields) here should come and stand guard with me, until those beams are brought out.

The king, my lord, knows that my men are [wo]rking [in] Dur-Šarruken and I have only cavalrymen at my disposal.
