Letter of Śehr-zabad (ŚZ) to Nabû-mukīn-zēri (/Nādinu//Dābibī, High Priest, šatammu) (NMZ), "his lord", about sheep and goats which he had delivered to NMZ via Aḫu-lakūn according to a debt note drafted against him. He now requests that NMZ receives these animals and the debt note in question, and that NMZ will then have it delivered with his (NMZ's) sealing (of the packing of the debt note). This is framed as a favour of NMZ to ŚZ.
