Textual Notes
cv 1: Reading from √חוט "to sew" (G-Stem) or √חיט "to inspect" (< Akk. ḫiāṭu). Compare Gzella, "Review," 471.
cv: there appears to be a faded א at the end of the verso in the vacat.

To my lord, Mîkayah. Your servant,
Giddel/Gaddul. Peace and life. I send
to you. I blessed you to Yahô and to Ḥn\û/m
Now, send (word) to me (about) the garment
which is on you. Shall it be hemmed/inspected?
For your wellbeing/compensation, I have sent this letter.
