To the king, [my lo]rd: your servant Bal[asî]. Good health to the [king, my lord]! May [Nabû] and Marduk [bles]s [the king], my lord!

As to what the king, my lord, wrote to me: "From now on you will stay in my entourage; is there something you want to say?" — there is nothing.

May the great gods of heaven and earth give long-lasting days of life to the king, my lord! That the king remembered us and that we have not seen the king (I do not know) for how long today, that is (the sole reason) why we stand in front of the k[ing]. T[o whom] else would we be devoted?

To whom indeed has the king done such a favour as to me whom you have appointed to the service of the crown prince, to be his master and to teach him? Could I have forgotten those kind words of the king, my lord? I look forward to seeing [the king, my lord, (soon) again].
