Letter of Nabû-ēṭir-napšāti (deputy governor of the Sealand, šanû) to Nabû-nādin-šumi (/Bēl-šumu-iškun//Dābibī, High Priest, šatammu), “his brother”, reminding him not to be negligent (lā šelû) about a document (šatāru) concerning the priestly assembly (kiništu) about which the Governor of the Sealand (šākin māti) gave the recipient an order. The sender stresses that the recipient should to this personally, and that he should not exempt anyone (from the assembly from the responsibility of the stolen goods), warning the recipient that he cannot be caught with stolen goods (qāt ṣibitti). In closing, he reassures the recipient that he can be pleased about everything which the two of them spoke about.
