Letter of Nabû-aḫḫē-iddin (/Nergal-ušallim//Nūr-Sîn, High Priest, šatammu) to Nabû-bān-aḫi (/Ibnāya//Ekur-zākir, scribe, ṭupšarru), reminding him not to be negligent about everything he is responsible for (lā šelû). The sender tells the recipient not to lead away any of the cows about which the sender spoke with him. Cows of Balāssu are mentioned in broken context, as are boats about which the recipient should not be negligent (lā šelû). He should also deliver 10 sheep and not be negligent about dates (lā šelû).
