SAA 10 279. Purification Rites (ABL 0052) [from exorcists]
(1) To the king, my lord: your servant Nabû-nadin-šumi. Good health to the king, my lord! May Nabû and Marduk bless the king, my lord. (6) Concerning the purification which I was ordered (to perform), I have gone and undertaken an effective one. From Nineveh I took the road to Zikkû and went as far as to Sasiqani; (there) I gave the (following) order to the courier who had accompanied me from Nineveh and to the courier of the city of Calah: "You carry along (this torch and this censer and) move them about in the city of Kasappa."
