Letter of […]-Nabû to […]-balāṭu, "his brother", reminding him not to neglect the work in the courtyard, the Akītu-temple and with regard to the wood on behalf of the palace. He tells the recipient to settle the accounts of shepherds and remarks that things are really going badly for them. He instructs the recipient to bestow the responsibility for outstanding remainders and prison (likely for imprisonment in the context of outstanding dues) to Gimillu (/Innin-šumu-ibni, oblate, širku). The letter mentions barley in broken context and closes with a request for a report by the recipient (ṭēmu lū šemû).
