saying: "Give m[e] troops!" [They refus]ed

to giv[e them ......]

[...] If [... d]well [...] and do not ..., [...] they will die.

When we heard that the king was angry with our lord, we became afraid, saying: "Our lord has committed no crime in the king's eyes," inasmuch as he prays every morning and evening to Šamaš and Bel for the life of the king, his lord; his heart is completely devoted to the king, his lord; they are lying about the king, his lord; and they ... his house because he grasps the feet of the king, his lord.

Your father, who was more attentive and circumspe[ct] than all (other) kings, used to speak like this: "I want for nothing in the land of Akkad and all the lands." Whether or not Na'id-Marduk was in [his] mind, the king should not now say: "Na'id-Marduk is (just) one man." He is a hundred thousand troops.

May we, his troops, not slip from the hands of the k[ing], our lord, and may we not look for another lord! May the king, [our] l[ord], write to us, and [may] the king, ou[r] lord, [...] t[o Na'id-Marduk], our lord.

[May] Šamaš and Marduk [bless the king], our lord!
