&lt;p&gt;5 minus &amp;frac14; &lt;em&gt;kutānum-&lt;/em&gt;textiles of good quality, 10 textiles either from Akkad or from Harahur, 2&amp;nbsp;black donkeys, I am bringing you all this. I gave 10 textiles extra for the transport costs until Hahhum. Send me the silver of the consignment by the next caravan. Send me (also) small goods worth 5 shekels of silver. Before being in Hahhum, the day Ennum-A&amp;scaron;&amp;scaron;ur came down, my goods came out of the palace. During two days my donkeys suffered, so I will drive them to Timilkiya. You are my brother, let your report come to me.&lt;/p&gt;
