Translation: Thus Kanesh, say to <every single> colony and the trading stations until Tuhpiya as follows: Kuliya, our messanger, has been sent to transmit instructions. Give him two escorts and (thus each) colony must convey him to the (next) colony. Do not cause him to delay! If among the escorts you have chosen somebody refuses to accompany Kuliya, bind him and have him brought here.
