All the signs which have come concern the land of Akkad and its nobles; any evil in them will not come close to the king my lord. An eclipse of the moon and sun in Sivan (III) will take place.

These signs are of bad fortune for Akkad, for the kings of the Westland and of Akkad; and now, in this month of Kislev (IX), an eclipse will take place. Kislev (IX) is the month of ..., and Jupiter will stand in its eclipse; well-being for the king my lord.

Let the king do this, (and) whatever Bel-ušezib will write to the king his lord, and I guarantee it to the king my lord:

The nobles of Akkad whom the king your father had appointed, destroyed Babylon and carried off the property of Babylon; therefore, these signs came, indicating evil. Let the troops of the king go and seize them in t[heir p]alaces, and let him put others in their stead. If the king does not act quickly, the enemy will come and change them.

I am free [......].
