SAA 10 242. A Sick King (ABL 0348) [from exorcists]
(1) To the kin[g, my lor]d: your servant Marduk-šakin-šumi. Good health to the king, my lord! May Nabû and Marduk bless the king, my lord! (5) As to what the king, my lord, said: "My arms and legs are without strength!" and "I cannot open my eyes; I am scratched and lie prostrate"— (10) (all) that is because this fever has lingered inside the very bones. It is not serious — Aššur, Šamaš, Bel and Nabû will provide health. (r 3) (Break) (r 6) His illness will depart — he will be just fine. True, they should wait and eat (only) what is appropriate.
