for Ḥarudj here. Do not be concerned about him; as you could do for him, I am doing
for him. Both Tapamet and Aḥatsin are supporting him. And now, verily, you have not sent a letter
(addressed) in his name. And now, that you were full of ^anger against me^saying saying: “No one asks about Ḥarudj”, now
