Letter of Sîn-rīm-i[lī] (SRI) to Nabû-mukīn-apli (/Nādinu//Dābibī, High Priest, šatammu), Sîn-šarru-uṣur (Royal Overseer, ša rēš šarri bēl piqitti) and Nādinu (/Bēl-aḫḫē-iqīša//Egibi, temple scribe, ṭupšarru ša Eanna), the scribe (sic!), "his fathers", reporting on successfully passing on 4;3.2 Dilmun-dates to Nabû-karābī-išme in (tp)Dūru and obtaining a receipt (giṭṭu) for these dates from him. SRI assures the recipients that he has been taking care of their duties (maṣṣartu) for 5 days. He also emphatically and urgently (ḫanṭiš) asks for an answer to a previous message to the recipients and likely repeats his therein made previous request for wool worth 2 minas of silver. He states that after receiving this silver, he will hand over (more) Dilmun-dates.
