(1) To the king, my lord: your servant Adad-issiya. Good health to the king, my lord! (4) As to the merchants about whom the king my lord gave me orders, I met Šarî of Kannu' in Arzuhina. He had 70 horses. (11) I asked him where the rest of his horses were, and he said: "[I have bou]ght 200 horses over there and will b[ring them] (later)." (r 2) [I also met NN] and ask[ed him] about [the horses]; he said: "We have bought [all of them]; they are on their way towards yo[u ...]." (r 10) I encountered 21 horses and 2 mules of Nabû-eriba of Calah, a subordinate of Sanî, in Arzuhina.
