Letter of Mukkēa (/Innin-zēru-ušabši, plow master, rab epinni, and oblate, širku) (M) to Gimillu (/Innin-šumu-ibni, rent farmer, ša muḫḫi sūti, and oblate, širku) (G), “his lord”, informing him about the plowmen G had sent him, telling him that he had not used any of the sesame he received for preparing the garden for sowing because he chose to let the field rest for several days before they start ploughing it. M assures G that he will send him oxen for ploughing should he want him to.
