Paraphrase

Letter of [x]-Šamaš and Nādinu (officials associated with the Ebabbar of Larsa) to Mušēzib-Bēl and Bēl-eṭēri-Nabû (Royal Courtier Appointed to Eanna), “their brothers”, about a theft of gold and silver from the Ebabbar (of Larsa). They emphatically (lā šelû) order that this matter is taken care of (sudduru), that a search for the goods is conducted (likely in Uruk) and that a herold informs the city.
