To the king, my lord: your servant Nabû-belu-ka''in. The very best of health to the king, my lord!

Concerning what the king, my lord, wrote to me: "Be at Calah on the 1st of Nisan (I)" — we are clearing the roads, but it is snowing and snow is filling them up. There is very much snow.

[...] the 3rd of Shebat (XI)

[...] ...

[...] he sent the first 20 horses.

The year before last, (when) there was as much snow, he gave me two chariots, and the men and horses who were with me died in the snow. I shall be in the king my lord's presence on the 6th or 7th of Nisan.

As to what the king, my lord, wrote to me: "The men and horses should come with you" — hither[to] the ca[pti]ves

(Break)

the son [of NN ...]

I shall not g[o ...]

to them, (and) "they will not come [...]."

We shall buy the horses and bring them. The mule express of Aššur-da''inanni should alert the equipment of the Arzuhinaeans.
