Content
- Paraphrase
Broken letter of […] to Nabû-nādin-šumi (/Bēl-šumu-iškun//Dābibī, High Priest, šatammu) and Marduk-ēṭir (/Bēl-šumu-iškun//Dābibī, Temple Scribe, ṭupšar bīti), “his fathers”, answering a message about corrupt men. In partly broken context, he seems to describe that they were taken to the Eanna where legal proceedings took place involving “his fathers” and witnesses (or elders, šību). The sender also writes about the receiving 4 minas of silver. In broken context, the sender talks of a message of “his fathers” about Uruk and about a statement relating to this.
