Translation

Obv.

 

1            To the god of my father

2            say:

3            Thus (says) Apil-Adad, your servant:

4            Why have you become indifferent to me?

7            Who could ⌈give⌉

6            you

5            one like me?

8            To Marduk, the one who lo[ve]s you,

9            write, [so that]

10–11    he may un[do] [my] liabi[lity (...)]!           

 

 

Rev.

 

12            ⌈May I see⌉ your face!

13            May I kis[s] your feet!

14            And also my family,

15            young and old, consider (them)!

16            For their sake

17            Have mercy on me!

18            May your help

19            reach me!
