Letter order of Nidintu (/Dummuqu) (N) (overseer of fifty, rab ḫanšē) to Bēl-eṭēri-Šamaš and Gimil-Šamaš, his brothers, reproaching them for leaving without him. N sent Nabû-ikṣur to them to pick up 2;2.3 of dates for him. N tells them to order dates in return for a debt note including for dates delivered to N and Šumu-ukīn (overseer of fifty, rab ḫanšē). N also tells them to send a message to Balāṭu (B), including the text they should use, asking for B’s messenger to take 10;0 of dates for N.
