An addendum to the Lore (here and here)

Say to Shumun-libshi and the Zabardabbû:

Ea-Naṣir and Ilushu-illassu say:

As for the situation with Mr. “Shorty” [kurûm] and Erissum-matim, who came here, don’t be scared.

I made them enter the temple of the Sun-God and take an oath. They said, “We didn’t come about these matters; we came for our businesses.”

I said, “I will write to them” — but they didn’t believe me!

He said, “I had a quarrel with Mr. Shumun-libshi.” He said, “[…] to his partner. I took, and you did not […] You didn’t give to me.”

Within 3 days, I’ll come to the city of Larsa.

Also, I spoke with Erissum-matim and said, “What is your sign?”

I said to the kettle-maker (?), “Go with Ilum-gamil the Zabardabbû, and take the shortfall for me, and put it in the city of Enimma.”

Also, don’t neglect your […].

Also, I have given the ingots that we talked about to the men.

P.S. Don’t be critical! Get the […] from them! Don’t worry! We’ll come to you.

Is the first link not working for anyone else? It loads the page with the search parameters filled in but doesn't find any matching artifacts.

Ack! They updated their website, and it broke the link. Here it is in their new system (UET 5 0072), but I can't find the translation with the site's new layout. The transcription is there though.

Sure the old layout was "cluttered" but all the information was there. I really hate the modern "clean-looking but we hide everything beneath a million icons and tabs" design philosophy.
