Paraphrase

Letter by Bēl-šarru-uṣur to Nabû-šarru-uṣur about cattle sacrifices for the Bīt-Rēš, a tallu-object (tallu) of Uškayītu, and the chest (pitnu) of a zazakku-official. Urgent (kapdu) request for execution of these tasks.

dating inferred on basis of prosopography with the likely identification of Nabû-šarru-uṣur as Royal Overseer (bēl piqitti) of Eanna
