[...] some 50 men came [to me] to Nikkur.

From [the men] at my disposal, [1]35 had died.

[When] the caravan of Kar-Šarrukin arrived, I sent (word), had them (= the Tabaleans) brought to me, had them occupy the houses of the deceased, and gave them oxen, sheep and women. The king's bodyguard took advantage of their oxen, sheep and wo[men], (but) did they [run a]way for lack of things? If they really had run away for [lac]k of things, they should have come to [me]. Why did they g[o] to [Mann]ea?

By the gods of the king, my lord: I did not know that [the Ta]baleans had run away. I heard about it (only) when I came out of Media. I sent (word) to Mannea, Mazamua and (Bit-)Hamban, and they did bring some men from among them from Mannea.

Now the king wrote to me, and I have provisioned the captives.

The king, my lord, knows if I am negligent or a do-nothing. Let the [kin]g, my lord, have a look at the ... of Nikkur, Tizu, Kiguhtu and Kizahasi, (all) [fort]resses [situ]ated on the enemy border and abandoned: [If I] have revived one of them, is it a crime? The king will [pun]ish me accordingly.

The king did [giv]e (me) 2,000 [men]. Either a royal eunuch [or a bod]yguard should come
