| Obverse [0:12] o 1o 1– | To the god of my father, speak: Thus (says) Apil-Adad, your servant: Why have you slighted me? Who could [g]ive to you such a one like me? Wri[te] to Marduk who l[ov]es you so that he rele[ase] my guilt. |
| Reverse [0:8] r 1r 1–r 88 | [L]et me se[e] your face! May I kiss your feet! And look upon my family, great (and) small, (with favor). Have mercy on me for their sakes. Let your help reach me. |
