| Reverse [0:10] r 1r 1–r 1010 | Concerning Bel-b[a]ni the haruspex about whom you wrote, I have n[ow] sent him in the hands of Ah[i-]atâ, (who) is coming into my presence. As soon as he is on his way to me, take to the road behind him so that he does not hear of it, and write me, if he (= Bel-ibani) is with him! |
