(4) Concerning what the king, my lord, w[rote to me]: "I [gave] you [explicit orde]rs regarding the work on [...], but you do not obey [me]" — if I did not obey the king, my lord, whom else would I obey? Now, the king, my lord, has (already) three or four times written to me in this manner; how can I live? My heart does not beat, blood has dried up in my veins.
