To the king of the lands, o[ur] lord: your servants, Illil-b[ani], Aššur-belu-taqqin, and the people of N[ippur]. May [Enli]l and Mulliltu, Ninurta and [Nusku] bl[ess the king] of the lands, our lord.

[As to what the king, o]ur [lord], w[rote to us]: "[...] to [...]!" — The king, ou[r] lord, [knows] whether we have ever left our watch or been negligent in our watch since the king, our lord, appointed u[s] to [our] watc[h]. The territory before us is extensive. Five stages of territory square, forty length units, is the stretch of a watch for cavalry with archers. We have several times written to the house of our lords about the horses. Now we are keeping watch with archers (only) and praying to the gods of the king, our lord.

Concerning Nabû-qati-ṣabat and Šamaš-[... about whom the king], our [lo]rd, wrote to u[s]:

"[...] Šarragitu in ... [...]

"[...]why have th[ey] cros[sed ...]?"

[...] o[ur w]atch [...]

[...... about whom the king], our [lord], sa[id]: "Has he [no]t co[me] to Nippur?" The gods of the king (are) on our faces:1 up to now h[e] has not been se[en] in o[ur] territory (or) in our watch, and we have not he[ard] anything of him.

1 The gods of the king may be being adjured.

Now then we are keeping the watch which the king, o[ur] lord, assigned to u[s], and [we are praying to] the gods [of the king, our lord].
