To the king, my lord: your servant, Ninurta-a[ha-...]. Good health to the king, [my] lo[rd]!

Ahhešaya, the [ma]jor domo, and Bel-itta[din], the information officer of Nabû-ušallim from Bit-Dakkuri, are carrying a lot of silver on them. They say they are going to buy horses. The king, my lord, should know (this).

As for the renegade scholars, eunuchs, and soldiers of Šamaš-ibni, who are with Nabû-ušallim, about whom the king, my lord, wrote to me — when I spoke to him, he refused to give them up to me, saying: "I will not give them up to you without a sealed document from the king and without a bodyguard."

Bel-iqiša, son of Bunanu, after visiting Babylon, Borsippa, and Bit-Dakkuri, has secured (many) [fr]iends (and) established in-law-relationship with (many) [noblem]en. [He has married h]is [first daughter] to Bel-aha-iddin, [son of NN ...] in Baby[lon]. He has married his [sec]ond daughter t[o NN], son of Nadinu, a 'temple-enterer' of [Nabû] in Borsippa. He has married his third daughter to the son of Zakiru, the chief shepherd of Nabû.

Bit-Hussanni, (a locality) situated on the Pitu watercourse between Cutha and Kish — its (yield of) dates is 100 (kor) and its (yield of) grain 100 (kor) — is a sustenance field of the king. Nabû-dini-amur got it but has given it to Bel-iqiša. It is of the province of Babylon. Neither his father nor his grandfather had the usufruct of it, and it is not in his territory.

Now I have written everything that I have observed to the [k]ing, my lord. May the king, my lord, do as he deems best.
