&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;Say to Ennum-A&amp;scaron;&amp;scaron;ur: thus (says) Anna-anna.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;According to the instructions you sent me, regarding Laqēpum, I repeatedly go to him, and he (answers) as follows: &amp;ldquo;I paid the silver to Kudātum.&amp;rdquo; I checked and went to him (saying) as follows: &amp;ldquo;I will certainly get witnesses (to testify) against you in case you did not paid (it) to Kudātum.&amp;rdquo; He (answered) as follows: &amp;ldquo;I will not give the silver to you. When Ennum-A&amp;scaron;&amp;scaron;ur arrives, it will be to him that I will pay (it)!&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You are my master. Why do you keep turning your head towards the lapis lazuli? Here, your instructions concerning silver, 10 or 20 minas that are either in Buru&amp;scaron;hattum, or in Wah&amp;scaron;u&amp;scaron;ana, or here, you left your instructions and you keep turning your head towards it. If within 10 days you have not arrived as for your departure, stand up and come. I hear bad words all the time!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
