Paraphrase

Letter of Nidintu (/Dummuqu) (N) (overseer of fifty, rab ḫanšē) to the High Priest (šatammu, Nabû-mukīn-apli/Nādinu//Dābibī), "his lord", requesting 100;0 of barley as allowances (kurummatu) for a month and reporting that Iqīšaya handed out barley which was locally available and took 166;1,4 of dates from N. In closing, N complains about the amount of work due from him.
