Letter of Šamaš-mukīn-apli and Bānia to Nabû-mukīn-apli (/Nādinu//Dābibī) (NMA), High Priest of Eanna (šatammu), "their father". The greeting includes a wish that the recipient’s service (maṣṣartu) goes well. The letter is badly broken and mentions a messenger, 2000 […], a delivery, flour, sheep, the City Priest (šangû) of Ur and a Nabû-rēmanni, an apportioning of female sheep and the location (tp)Raqqat[(-x)?]. The sender requests that NMA’s official (bēl piqitti) should come and stand by them with regard to the apportioning. After a break, he urgently requests a messenger from NMA (kapdu, nubattu lā bâtu).
