Letter of Innin-aḫḫē-iddin (IAI) (chief of oblates, rab širki) to the High Priest (šatammu, Nabû-mukīn-apli/Nādin//Dābibī) and Nabû-aḫu-iddin (Royal Overseer, ša rēš šarri bēl piqitti), "his lords", about the imminent arrival of the king (kapdu). He requests replacements for men serving in outposts. For this, Nanaya-iddin and summoners should quickly be sent to him (nubattu lā bâtu). IAI requests a freeman (mār banî) with silver who should buy barley where IAI is to supply the men as the silver IAI received via Šumu-ukīn and Nidintu, 2 minas, have been used up in the last 4 months. IAI also urges (kapdu) the recipients to ship 500;0 of dates to him via Kalbāya.
