SAA 10 092. Worshipping Venus (ABL 0045) [from astrologers]
(1) T[o] the king, my lord: your ser[vant] Akkullanu. [G]ood health to the king, my lord! May Nabû and Marduk bless the king, my lord! (6) It is my duty to praise them; I do it for the sake of the life of the king, my lord. Perhaps the king, my lord, will say, "What is (this) praise?" — it is the spindle (symbol); I carry it three days for Venus. The king, my lord, should know and hear (this, lest) the king, my lord, might say: "Why have I not learned and heard that you have to do (this)?" Now the king should know that I am doing (this).
