Letter of Śameš-ˁidrī (Royal Supervisor of the Ebabbar of Larsa, qīpu) and Itti-enši-Nabû (/Bēl-remanni//Egibi) to the High Priest (of Eanna, šatammu) and Nabû-aḫu-iddin (Royal Overseer, ša rēš šarri bēl piqitti), “their fathers”, emphatically requesting a kusītu-garment (kusītu) for the Lady of Larsa as theirs is threadbare (qalpu) and two turbans (paršigu) of red wool (tabarru) and blue wool (takiltu) because they are lacking for the cult.
