Paraphrase

Letter of Šamaš-mukīn-apli (ŠMA) to Nādinu (/Bēl-aḫḫē-Iqīša//Egibi), (temple scribe, ṭupšarru ša Eanna) (N), "his brother", checking on a statement by Innin-aḫḫē-iddin (IAI) according to which IAI entered the silver in the temple in the accounts via N. ŠMA answers an inquiry by N about a ship, informing him that the ship is ready to be led away by a messenger of N, offering two sizes of ships as to N’s liking. A broken passage at the end mentions silver.
