[T]o the king, [my] l[ord]: your [serva]nt, [NN]. May Nabû and Mar[duk] bl[ess] the king, my lord.

I h[eard] from your ho[ly] mouth which Marduk and Zar[panitu] love: "Nobody will [...] anything [...]."

From the gate of the god [...] in [...], (and) when Bel-naṣir, having given a woman [to] his son, [...]ed for food, [I ...].

Now [NN is saying]: "I have taken his wife in exchange." They are giving my house, my field, and my wife to Nenea, an exorcist who forsook his lord's house and ran away.

So, although I have always revered the king, my lord, when I am dead, where shall they bury me? There is no city, no open country, no land, no people, nor a single 'litre' of bread (for me) in my lord's house. May my petition to the king, my lord, be received with sympathy!
