Paraphrase

Letter of Nādin-aḫi (Royal Supervisor of the Ebabbar of Larsa, qīpu) to the High Priest (of Eanna, šatammu) “his brother”, reproaching him for neglecting him and requesting 20-30 sheep for the regular offering. They are lacking because of an intercalated month. He also asks the recipient to fulfil the annual delivery of dates for the regular offering to the Ebabbar of Larsa.
