From Arsames to Armapiya. And now, Psamshek my official sent (word) to me. He says thus: "Armapiya with the troop which is at his command do not obey me
in the affair of my lord (about) which I am telling them." Now, Arsames says thus: "(In) the affiar of my estate (about) which Psamshek will tell you and the troop which is at your command -- (in) that,
obey him and do (it). Thus [let] it be kn[ow]n to you: If Psamshe[k] later sends me a complaint against you, you will be strickly called to account and a harsh word
will be directed at you." Bagasrava knows this order. Aḥpepi is the scribe.
From [Ar]sames to Armapiya.
Concerning (the fact that) Psamshe[k]
said: "They do not ob[e]y
me."
