Translation: To Amurrum-bāni, Aššur-imittī, Ṣilūlu, Šu-Kūbum, Ennam-ilī, Aššur-dan, Ilī-bāni, Enna-Suen, Šar-Adad and Zikiki from Šalim-Aššūr: The scribe of the Burušhaddum colony, Ibaya's son and a servant of Ušinalam have brought a tablet from the plenary assembly of the Burušhaddum colony and a tablet from Ušinalam to the plenary assembly of the Kanesh colony concerning the slave Abu-šalim. They said: The slave Abu-šalim owes 16,040 minas of copper, the price of wool, to Ušinalam. As to the 30, 000 minas of copper from the others that they owe to the palace, he angered Ušinalam." They went on: "Abu-šalim must come. If Abu-šalim is absent, his master must travel. Here we fear for our lives and Abu-šalim's silver." When all of the envoys from the City and the Kanesh colony had heard their letters, they said: "You will have to satisfy Ušinalam." They handed me to Ilī-bāni, the scribe of the Burušhaddum colony and Ušinalam's servant together with my merchandise that had come up from the City, and they said: "Go! Satisfy Ušinalam!" After I had paid as the price of the wool 15, 000 minas of copper to Ušinalam and satisfied him, he came back and handed me over to the palace officials for 40 minas of silver to cover the debt of Abu-šalim. I said: "It is you I have satisfied, so take the -documents you gave to me and sell them where you wish." He answered: "I will not take the -documents, but you must pay (in accordance with) those other tablets." Before the envoys of the Kanesh colony and the plenary assembly of the colony at Burušhaddum I said this to Ušinalam, but he refused. My dear lords, as for the tablet from the plenary assembly of the Burušhaddum colony and the tablet from Ušinalam that Ibaya's son and Ušinalam's servant brought, that the envoys from the City and the Kanesh colony heard and on the basis of which tablets they led me away, and I did satisfy Ušinalam - both those earlier tablets which the envoys of the City and the plenary assembly of the Kanesh colony heard, and that have been entrusted (for safe-keeping), and a tablet, a missive from the plenary assembly of the Burušhaddum colony to the plenary assembly of the Kanesh colony that Ilī-bāni and huraṣānum bring - when the colony has heard it, you too must submit to the colony, so that you, together with the Kanesh colony, give the two previous tablets transported by the scribe, Ibaya's son, and Ušinalam's servant, plus this tablet transported by Ilī-bāni and huraṣānum to Buziya, the envoy from the City - those three tablets - so they entrust them in your presence in order that Buziya may carry them to the City. If the colony has not given the tablets to Buziya, send me word, so that I can set out and come so my city and my lord may give me justice. If Buziya has left, then entrust the tablet that Ilī-bāni and huraṣānum bring to a reliable affiliated trader (for safe-keeping)."
