Translation: From Aššur-šamšī to Ennam-Aššur: Once or twice I wrote to you, saying: Send me Aššur-rēṣī's tablet." But as for you - you do not send me word. Have I not acquired dignity for you worth just 10 shekels of silver, and have I not been able to return your favours? May Aššur and the gods of friendship be my witnesses: For that silver, for at least 5 minas of silver I was able to listen to your words and I was able to return your favours! When you hear this letter ..., the tablet ... of the servant give it to Lalūm's son so he may bring it. That is indeed gentlemanly behavior."
