ASSUR-NIRARI 3 LETTER

Neo-Assyrian copy found in Ashurbanipal's library in Nineveh.

[To] Assur-nirari and Ili-ipad[da..], kings of Assyria, speak! [The words of] Adad-šuma-usur, great king, strong king [king of the universe], king of Karduniash,…

[The god Ass]ur to Assur-nirari and Ili-ipadda [,,,,through] slovenliness, drunkenness and indecisiveness, things have taken a turn for you. Now there is neither sense nor reason in your heads. Since the great [gods] have driven you mad, you speak… Your faces [….with] iniquitous and criminal counsel.
