Tell Inâ: Ikuppīja, Ellil-bāni, and Aššur-taklāku send the following message:
We have heard here that the palace has put you in fetters, but we did not believe it until we learned of the official announcement. We closely questioned Iddissin, the transport agent of the house of Enna-Sin, and he declared: “They keep the boss in seclusion.” For this reason, we have sent word to Bēlum-bāni to take care of your affairs. You need not be worried about your consignment and that of the merchant. Bēlum-bāni must not stay there for even a day longer than necessary. Let us have a report from you lest we become worried.
