| Obverse [0:3] o 1o 1–o 33 | To the king, m[y] lord: your servant Nabû-ahhe-[...]. Good health to the kin[g], m[y] lord! |
| Obverse [3:6] o 44–o 66 | Concerning the son of Attua about whom I sai[d] to the king, my lord: "He will come." He came out but tur[ne]d back; his father is coming. |
| Obverse [6:14] o 77–o 1414 | The 40 Gur[r]eans who have been serving the king, my lord, have not been a problem ever after the year that they went to Hardu until now. Now they have not come out to go along with their colleagues. Attua has said: "You are not going. You are my servants." |
| Obverse [14:23] o 1515– | Concerning the towns about which the king, my lord, wrote to Nabâ, he has not given them back. The Manisaeans are in the presence of the king, my lord. Let the kin[g], my lord, ask them (whether) they are independent towns. |
| Reverse [1:11] r 22–r 1111 | The eunuch Wayaniara who received ... is allied with him. When I was coming to the king, my lord, I said to him: "Come, let us go, and let me see all the towns that the king is giving to you." He did not come. Now that I have returned from the king my lord's presence, he is coming. |
