To the king, [my lord]: your servant [NN]. Good health t[o the king], my [lord]!

As to what the king, my lord, wrote me in the sealed order, I and Issar-duri, the royal bodyguard, told them every word that was in it and let them hear the sealed order [which] came concerning them. They say:

"The king, our lord, is the lord of all; what can we say? The king, our lord, may take all the Kummeans who hold houses in (other) countries to wherever it is appropriate."

But the Kummean scouts who went from Kumme for hire have not yet returned but are still there! The king, [my] lo[rd], should inquire and investigate: may[be] they are getting deported with those (other Kummeans).

The king, my lord, should return them to Kumme. The king, my lord, knows that they are needed in Urarṭu, and that they are in Assyria for hire (only).

As to the saplings about which the king, my lord, wrote me, there is much snow and ice, so they cannot be picked up yet; they will pick them up and bring them to Dur-Šarruken at the beginning of the new moon of Adar (XII). I shall (then) come and give my report.
