To the king, my lord: your servant Balasî. Good health to the king, my lord! May Nabû and Marduk bless the king, my lord!

Concerning the raven about which the king, my lord, wrote to me, (here are the relevant omens):

If a raven brings something into the house of a man, the said man will obtain something that does not belong to him.

If a falcon or a raven drops something it carries into the house of a man, (or) according to a variant, before a man, the said house will have išdihu. Išdihu (means) profit.

If a bird carries flesh, a bird, or anything, and drops it into the house of a man, the said man will receive a large inheritance.

ruling

May Nabû and Marduk bless the king, my lord, and may they give life of distant days, old age and fullness of life to the king, my lord!

I have servants in the land of the Chief Cupbearer, and I have fields and orchards (there). (But) the servants of the Chief Cupbearer, coveting my orchards, have snatched them and chased my people away. Fr[om the mo]ment they chased them, they (= my people) [go]t into a panic and disappeared. May [the gods] not forsake me! [May the ki]ng [feel] pity (for his servant)! May a guard be appointed [for] me, let him do me justice!
