SAA 19 110. Launching Boats and Water-Skin Rafts in Northern Babylonia (CTN 5 p. 35)
(1) [To the king], my [lo]rd: [your servant A]šipâ. [Good heal]th to the king, my lord! (4) [We] set into motion [the boat]s and water-skin rafts [which] were launched [into wate]r [in] Dur-Ladini, and proceeded to Bab-bitqi. (8) If [the kin]g commands: "Let the first-come (boats) proceed to take (the barley)", (then) either Balassu or Nadinu should man the bo[at]s and water-skin rafts and set out until I have fetched the later ones from Dur-Balihaya.
