SAA 08 487. Eclipse of the Moon (RMA 274F) [eclipses]
(1) I wrote [to the k]ing my lord [as follows: "The moon] will make an eclipse." [Now] it will not pass by, it will occur. There is well-being for the king my lord in the occurrence of this eclipse: Iyyar (II) means Elam, the 14th day means Elam, the morning watch means [Elam]. Month, [day, watch, all of them] refer to E[lam. That it set] darkly refers to the ending of the dynasty of the West[land]. The West[land] is affected together with Elam; the dynasty of the Westland is ended. (7) From Nadinu.
