Letter of Nabû-ēṭir-napšāti (deputy governor of the Sealand, šanû) to Nabû-nādin-šumi (/Bēl-šumu-iškun//Dābibī, High Priest, šatammu), “his brother”, reprimanding him not to be negligent about his work for which he had given the recipient instructions. After a broken passage, he states that plowmen of the Royal Canal have come to the recipient, and he now demands an update about this. In closing, he asks why the recipient did not send rafts (ḫallimu) and why the dates were not taken away (našû).
