| Obverse [0:7] o 1o 1–o 77 | To the king, our lord: your servants Ṣallaya, major domo, (and) Asalluhi-ereš, scribe. Good health to the king, our lord! May Nabû (and) Marduk bless the king, our lord. |
| Obverse [7:20] o 88– | The governors have squandered the household of our lord, (and) the king does not know. The governor of Arrapha has taken away the gift which the king gave to our lord. May it be known to the king, our lord, that the household of our lord has been squandered. |
| Reverse [3:18] r 44– | The king knows that our lord does not argue with his adversary; and when we litigate, they mistreat us. May the king entrust us to someone of his entourage, who will tell our story before the king. Moreover, may he appoint a royal bodyguard over the house of his servant, so that he may settle the lawsuits concerning the house. |
