To Sargon, king of the universe: thus say your servants Ha'il-il and Zabdi-il, who guard the fortress of Šabhanu for the king, their lord. The king's fortress is well. Good health to the king, our lord!

The letter(s) which Nabû-taklak sends to the king — it is not Nabû-taklak (himself) but his delegates who write them. And what they are (now) writing to the king, viz., "Remove the prefect from Bit-Dakuri!" — the king should write to them: "Why do you write (about) injustice? [If he] is doing injustice to you, [br]ing [...]!"

[...] they are going

[...] against them [...]

[...] that is why they write to [the king]: "[...]"

[...] "We are [...]"

"We shall nouri[sh them] in the house of the king."

Let the king write to the prefect that he should place his messenger in Bit-Tammeš-šama' to keep the barley for the king.
