Paraphrase

Letter of Nabû-ēṭir-napšāti (deputy governor of the Sealand, šanû) to the High Priest (šatammu, likely Nabû-aḫḫē-iddin/Nergal-ušallim//Nūr-Sîn), “his brother”, asking him for a message about what the needs. He also cautions him that nobody is supposed to take the allotted property (bīt ritti) of Aḫu-iddin-Marduk (possibly a deputy, šanû) from Iqīšaya.
