&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Transliteration of the tablet inside the envelope&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;em&gt;um-ma A-l&amp;aacute;-hu-um-ma &lt;/em&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;ugrave; A-&amp;scaron;&amp;ugrave;r-t&amp;aacute;k-l&amp;aacute;-ku &lt;/em&gt;&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;em&gt;a-na I-d&amp;iacute;-a-bi-im En-na-/nim &lt;/em&gt;&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;em&gt;Puzur&lt;/em&gt;&lt;sub&gt;4&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;em&gt;-A-&amp;scaron;&amp;ugrave;r &amp;ugrave; I-ku-/p&amp;igrave;-a &lt;/em&gt;&lt;sup&gt;5&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;em&gt;q&amp;iacute;-b&amp;iacute;-ma&lt;/em&gt; : &lt;em&gt;a-ma-kam &lt;/em&gt;&lt;sup&gt;6&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;em&gt;ṭup-p&amp;eacute;-e&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;: &lt;em&gt;am-ra-ma &lt;/em&gt;&lt;sup&gt;7&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;em&gt;ṭup-p&amp;aacute;-am ha-ar-ma-/am &lt;/em&gt;&lt;sup&gt;8&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;scaron;a&lt;/em&gt; 5 &lt;em&gt;ma-na&lt;/em&gt; k&amp;ugrave;-babbar &lt;sup&gt;9&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;scaron;a a-na I-ku-p&amp;iacute;-a &lt;/em&gt;lo.e.&lt;sup&gt;10&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;em&gt;a-na e-bu-ṭ&amp;iacute; &lt;/em&gt;rev.&lt;sup&gt;11&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;em&gt;A-&amp;scaron;&amp;ugrave;r-&lt;/em&gt;du&lt;sub&gt;10&lt;/sub&gt; &lt;em&gt;i-d&amp;iacute;-nu-ma &lt;/em&gt;&lt;sup&gt;12&lt;/sup&gt;dam-g&amp;agrave;r &lt;em&gt;il&lt;/em&gt;&lt;sub&gt;5&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;em&gt;-pu-t&amp;ugrave; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;sup&gt;13&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;em&gt;ṭup-p&amp;aacute;-am d&amp;iacute;-na-&amp;scaron;u-ma &lt;/em&gt;&lt;sup&gt;14&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;em&gt;li-du-uk&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;: &lt;em&gt;a-na-kam &lt;/em&gt;&lt;sup&gt;15&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;em&gt;ṭup-pu-um &amp;scaron;a na-ru-q&amp;iacute;-/&amp;scaron;u &lt;/em&gt;&lt;sup&gt;16&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;em&gt;i&amp;scaron;-t&amp;iacute;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;: &lt;em&gt;um-m&amp;igrave;-a-ni-&amp;scaron;u &lt;/em&gt;&lt;sup&gt;17&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;em&gt;al-pu-ut.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Translation of the tablet in the envelope&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thus (say) Ali-ahum and A&amp;scaron;&amp;scaron;ur-taklāku: say to Iddin-abum, Ennānum, Puzur-A&amp;scaron;&amp;scaron;ur and Ikuppiya.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There, I have seen the tablets, and the enveloped tablet concerning 5 minas of silver that A&amp;scaron;&amp;scaron;ur-ṭāb gave as investment loan to Ikuppiya and that the creditor had written down, give him the tablet so that he cancels it (kills it). Here, I wrote the tablet of his joint stock company with his investors.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
