Translation: To Šalim-Aššur from Adad-rabi: as to the tablets concerning Iddin-abum that you wrote to me about - I asked Aššur-malik and Šalim-Aššur, saying: When Issu-arik cleared up Iddin-abum's affairs with Merani, with the Ištar-priest and Zaktaya's firm, and where he gave him a free loan, at that time he paid what silver he could - and did they certify his tablets for the rest of the silver, stating that Iddin-abum owed it, and that Šalim-Aššur was the guarantor?" They answered: "No tablet at all was certified. He sent us the silver and we paid the men." They continued: "It is true that Issu-arik discussed with him in our presence and said: 'Pay the debt of your brother, both here and abroad, and then go and take it again out of your brother's silver. If there is no silver belonging to your brother, then pay out of your joint-stock capital.'" For these words which Issu-arik discussed with you in their presence I shall lead them off, and I shall receive a tablet with their statement in the Gate of the God. As to the tablet concerning your share, we opened Bēlātum's house, and there is only a single tablet, and it concerned your funds and was sealed by Ukuwa and his partners. Also, 2 memoranda are present. As for Ennānum's son we searched for the tablet but it was not there. The City assembly has rendered a verdict in the sacred precinct concerning Ibaya's son, stating that whoever has hired an attorney and received a tablet concerning extradition - in the City as well as abroad - their tablets are invalid. The Kanesh colony will render a verdict concerning silver and gold. If a man makes a formal statement involving a deposition, he must reveal it to the colony, and if it concerns the three words he must go to the City; if it does not involve the three words he must not come to the City; he who comes anyway will not live. I seized Aššur-malik and Šalim-Aššur and said: "You have heard the missive of Šalim-Aššur concerning grain. Speak up and send word to the man about how much grain has been stored." They answered: "Now  pressure us for the grain, but our own free loans, where are they?" He may come and someone will take away the grain. They continued: "The last five years we have been unwilling to follow his orders." I said: "Why are you angry?" They answered: "Apart from the free loans that we gave to him we have no other quarrel with him." My dear father, my dear lord - do not treat me harshly because word from me has not reached you until today! I said to myself: "Why should I send insulting words to him?" huraṣānum offered me 10 shekels of silver to dispose of there, but I said: "I have received a similar amount from Šalim-Aššur." So send me the money!"
