[...... ma]ny

[...... the c]hief eunuch

[......] you went

[......] the word of the king

[......] the presence of the king, his lord,

[......] into the presence of the king

(Break)

[......] we do not know

[...... yo]u went

(Break)

[......] his [l]ord

[...] I appointed [...... m]ade

[...] of Na'id-M[arduk ...... a]m I.

The king, our lord, ... [......] has sen[t us a bod]yguard [..., say]ing: "[...] from the presence of Na'i[d-Marduk, he has com]e to greet m[e ...]. Have [no] fear! [I shall] now give [orde]rs to him (and) send him [to yo]u. Guard the [ou]tposts until Na'id-Marduk, your [l]ord, comes."

Trusting in the word of the king, our lord, which like the word of the god cannot be changed, we [...]ed the land and reinforced our guard.

[...] inva[ded] us

[......] and to our home

[......] which he saw and

[......] food for his land

[... h]e [carr]ied off. So [we heard1 and] informed [the king, ou]r [lord].

1 Or ‘we wrote’.

[... Na'id-Ma]rduk is your man who reveres you,

[who ...] would die [for the k]ing, his lord.

[......] who does not revere the king

[...] but [will make] the land [slip] from the king's hands.

[...] the heart of the king, our lord

[......] ...

Having sent [our letters to the king], our [lord], we have not seen [a reply to] our [letters] and not one of our [messengers] has came back to us, [so we have became afraid].

[Concerning ...] about which the king wrote to us, [w]e [ha]ve [now dis]patched [...] fish-eye stones

[......] of bronze

[......] therein

[......] they [will ha]ul

[......] and

[...... should ch]eck and

[......] to us
