To the king, [my] lord: your servant Šamaš-belu-uṣur. Good health to the king, my lord!

Concerning the people in charge of the Labdudaean(s) about whom I spoke in the presence of the king, my lord, the king, my lord ordered Balassu, their prefect, to give the (said) people back to their owners. Now then I have writ[ten down] their names and am herewith sending them to the king, [my] lord.

Also, the men whose people are there have likewise had an audience with me. Let them give their people back to them, so they can be induced to work. (As long as) their attention is (directed) to their people, they cannot be induced to work, they being here, the(ir) people there.

Perhaps they will say: "Ša-la-ili-mannu has given (them) to us." I have asked him — he says he has not given (away anybody).
