To the king, my lord: your servant Nabû-nadin-šumi. Good health to the king, my lord! May Nabû and Marduk greatly bless the king, my lord!

Concerning what the king, my lord, wrote to me: "Write me what the treatment is",

it is said in the relevant apotropaic ritual text (as follows):

"He (the king) sits 7 days in a reed hut, and purification rites are performed upon him; he is treated like a sick person.

During the 7 days 'hand-lifting' prayers before the nighttime deities and the apotropaic ritual against evil of any kind are performed as well, and the seven days he sits in the reed hut, he recites benedictions for his god and his goddess." Thus (is it).

Perhaps the king will say, "Perform it today" — the 8th day is suitable for performing it.
