[To the k]ing of the universe, my lord: yo[ur] servant, [Nabû-i]qbi. May Aššur, Šamaš, and M[arduk] bles[s the king of the lan]ds, my lord.

[Aššur-ere]š and Bel-id[din, servants] of Urda-G[u]l[a, uttered an appeal to the king conc]er[ni]ng Aša[redu, comman]dant of Cutha. When [the ki]ng, my lo[r]d, h[eard it], he brought him in. But nob[o]dy has settled his case wi[th them].

If it is agreeable to the king, my lord, and the king, [my] l[ord], commands that he should be tried, then let him be t[ried i]n the presence of the chariot driver, the governor of the city of HA[R], and the mayor Sasi[ya], men who are loyal t[o] the king, my lord, before [he distributes] bribes and gi[fts c]oncerning them, the men di[e, and the ki]ng's case is hush[ed].

(The lord of) kings, my lord, gave the [fo]llowing order to [a]ll the magnates: "Whoever has a scholar in his presence but hides him fro[m the kin]g and [does not s]end him [t]o the palace, the king's [... will ...] him."

Now, I [have he]ard [that there is a haru]spex, son of a haruspex, who is useful t[o the king], my [lor]d, in the pre[sence of Ašare]du, commandant of Cu[tha].

[O]n the day when he come[s] for an au[dience with the king, m]y [lord ...]
