To Assur-iddin, my lord, letter of Sin-mudammeq, your
servant. I submit myself. I am available, my lord.
Regarding the flax of the city of the country Hanu, I
wrote. The reply was overtaken. The grasshoppers have not devoured the flax.
From my inquiry: "Why is it not yet harvested?" He writes me:
"It (the flax) is not yet ripe."
A stronger 1500 man enemy is assembled in the Hasumu-mountains. Where they will invade - I do not know it.
Whether they will attack over Nihriia or over the country
of Hanu or over the bank of the Habur, I do not know it. I myself went to
Amimu. Sutu… Subnat….Bring here a reply about it.
Concerning the soldiers, about whom my lord writes me as
follows: "Send 50 soldiers for my protection." All soldiers have
made their provisions out of the dust. I did not see teams either in
Wassukanni or in Amimu. However, the
spring of Der, that my lord commanded me to clear, I cannot clear it due to a
shortage of people. But regarding the people from the city Salusa, that have
not yet set off, they demanded chick-peas. These opened to me. For ten days,
they should pulverize their chick-peas and then receive their payment. They
proceeded on the way… Today they have set off. As well as this, in order to
pulverize their chick-peas, my lord…they will march off and arrive.
Month Kuzallu. Day 5. Eponym Ina-assur-sumi-asbat.
