Paraphrase

Letter from Nabû-aḫḫē-iddin to Innin-zēru-ušebši (IZU). Urgent request to send him palm-leaf baskets (qappatu) and reports (ṭēmu) about boats. Regarding silver, he will send Amīl-Nanāya to IZU. Inquiry about his messenger!. Nabû!-ušallim (lit.: Inag-gi) is mentioned in broken context.

For collations and dating see Levavi, Dubsar 3 no. 118. 

The reverse of the tablet shows traces of a seal, probably AUWE 18 no. 170 (see Levavi 2018: 86–87 and Levavi and Schmidl, AfO 54 [Diplomatics Workshop]: 76 (mistakenly no. 171).
