Letter of Innin-aḫḫē-iddin (IAI) (chief of oblates, rab širki) to Nādinu (/Bēl-aḫḫē-iqīša//Egibi), Ardiya, Libluṭ and Sūqāya, "his fathers", informing them that he has issued all the barley he had available, and requests an update on his accounts with the temple (lē’u amāru) as well as 5 minas of white silver via Šamaš-udammiq for work and allowances (kurummatu). He lists prices for barley in exchange for dates and silver and asks the temple to make use of this opportunity to buy barley via two freemen (mār banî) in Sippar. IAI requests that his allowances be delivered, taking into account transport costs from the times of Neriglissar and Nabonidus to Akkadu and of Cyrus to (tp)Laḫīru.
