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!
