(4) Concerning the barley which the king, my lord, sent me for, when I set out from the king, my lord, I entered [Cut]ha and Sippar and I stayed two days in Babylon but the barley of Ṣil-Bel was not available. I could not go near it until Mušezib-Ilu came from Kar-Aššur. (r 7) I towed the boats and went a day’s march below Cutha. (r 10) On the 23rd I will set out and put in place the barley of Cutha.”

“(1) To the kin[g], my [lo]rd: (your) servant Ašipâ. (3) 6,000 (homers of) barley of the village manager Ṣil-Bel is near by. The rest of the barley has not been piled up. (8) (There is also) 2,000 (homers of) Nergal-eṭir; (9) (and) 3,000 (homers of) barley in Sippar. The barley is far from the river bank. (r 1) The barley is in place, (but) I cannot go to Sippar and the barley is far from the river. (r 6) If the king should say: 'Go (there)!', the work is in progress. They complain, saying: "From Cutha, from Kar-Nergal."”

“(1) [To the king], my [lo]rd: [your servant A]šipâ. [Good heal]th to the king, my lord!
