SAA 19 108. Raising Barley from Babylonian Cities (CTN 5 p. 34)
(1) To the king, my lord: your servant Ašipâ. Good health to (the king,) my lord! (4) Concerning the barley which the king, my lord, sent me for, when I set out from the king, my lord, I entered [Cut]ha and Sippar and I stayed two days in Babylon but the barley of Ṣil-Bel was not available. I could not go near it until Mušezib-Ilu came from Kar-Aššur. (r 7) I towed the boats and went a day’s march below Cutha. (r 10) On the 23rd I will set out and put in place the barley of Cutha.
