Tell Aššur-rīsī, Šu-Bēlim, and Aššur-taklāku: Elani sends the following message:
Dear brothers, get hold of Išme-[…] and Aššur-nāda there: make them pay nine shekels of silver, and give the silver to Šu-Bēlim. Be sure, dear brothers, to give the silver to Šu-Bēlim, lest you cause annoyance to me and to him. When I stayed there, they [the two debtors mentioned] told me the following: “No sale can be made on the market”. Today I hear, however, that many sales are being made on the market. Therefore, make them pay the silver and give it to Šu-Bēlim. Follow instructions, dear brothers!
Give the following message to Aššur-rīsī: “I have paid two and one-fourth shekels of silver for you, dear brother; give the same amount of silver to Šu-Bēlim, please.
