- Paraphrase
Letter of several broken senders to the High Priest (of Eanna, šatammu) and Nabû-aḫu-iddin (Royal Overseer, ša rēš šarri bēl piqitti), “their lords”, reporting that they did not see Bāniya on the 20[+x]th day when they came to (tp)Bēltiya (“the city of my lady”, uru.gašan-ia). They went to him, to the place from which the letter was sent, five days later because of an inspection of dates. The text mentions 300;0 dates and an underground store (kalakku) as well as one or more mina(s) of a broken good. The rest of the letter is too broken for a coherent translation.
