Translation: From Aššur-bāni to Šuppi-numan, Ummī-Išhara, his wife and hanu: I have heard words that were not good but diminishing. It is urgent that you guard the house, the tablets and anything else there! If A..., Aššur-muttabbil or Aššur-rē’ī asks you for anything, also tablets, then it is imperative that you do not give them anything! As hanu has been instructed, every shekel that he receives in accordance with the tablets is hanu’s share. Do not hold it back! Let him receive it. Also, if he demands all the tablets from you, then do not hold him back but let him take them. As for the tablet concerning the balance payment of Bēlānum son of Šu-Aššur that I left for our mother, hanu should bring that to me. It is urgent that you stand guard! As for the tablets, let hanu take them! He must not take the tablets in the hands of Asānum son of Šu-hubur or my brothers and you must not set our father’s house up for a lawsuit. The young man is no good. Take care and stand guard!
