To the king, my lord: your servant Nergal-šarrani. May there be peace for the king, my lord. May Nabû and Marduk bless the king, my lord, exceedingly. This month, on this very day, I have been ill since the house [where I fell sick]. It is a colic — that is what it is. Since the house where it seized me, the physicians examined [me]; they diagnosed [it as] colic. [They said:] 'The hand of Venus [is upon you] — you are sick. [It is] because of the heat of the fire that I am afraid. Without the king I cannot act.' Now, therefore, I have written to the king, my lord. By the word of the king, let [a remedy] be chosen; let [it] be performed. May [my] illness be made to pass.
