- Paraphrase
Badly broken letter of Eanna-[…] to Nādinu (/Bēl-aḫḫē-iqīša//Egibi), Mūrānu (Nabû-bāni-aḫi//Ekur-zākir) and Balāṭu (/Sîn-ibni//Rēˀi-alpi) (temple scribes, ṭupšarru ša Eanna), "his fathers", informing them about the well-being of two men and mentioning a delivery to a […]-man in Uruk in broken context. In closing, the sender assures the recipients that he prays daily to Urdimmu for them.
