Paraphrase

Letter of Nabû-karābī-išme and Balāṭu (likely an Aramiac scribe, sēpiru) to Nādinu (/Bēl-aḫḫē-iqīša//Egibi), Mūrānu (Nabû-bāni-aḫi//Ekur-zākir) and Balāṭu (/Sîn-ibni//Rēˀi-alpi) (temple scribes, ṭupšarru ša Eanna), "their lords", about utensils of the god Nergal in broken context. They assure them that everything is well in their establishments, possibly in relation to the cult, and that Nabû-aḫḫe-bulliṭ took bread, beer and meat which are to be offered up in the chapels. In closing, they ask for the senders’ reply and about their well-being.
