Translation: Say to Lullu, Ennam-Aššur and Abu-šalim thus Aššur-ṭāb: I hear that Aššur-ṭāb has unfortunately died. Please my fathers and lords, the very day you hear my letter you must clear both the earlier and the later merchandise and put it under seal and send Abu-šalim here with the first opportunity. If any copper is still unsold, sell it at any price and ship it(s yield) here. Not a single shekel of silver must be retained there!""
