Naveh and Shaked

From Akhvamaza to Bagavant, Vakhshuvahishta and Azdayapa. And now, that wall, which it was commanded by me to build and to make, let it be built and made

just as it was commanded by me earlier. Carry out the instruction strictly, so that the said wall shall be built and done in a most desirable and best manner. Do not

act in a contrary manner. Nurafratara the scribe is the one in charge of this command.

To Bagavant who is in Khulmi. Vakhshuvahishta the messenger, and Azdayapa his foreman. That which is to be built. That which concerns Kish.

[… NN is in] charge of the command.
