§1
You, Mr. Pipappa, quickly bring UKU.UŠ-infantry troops to the far side! Bring them to the army! If you do not come, then you will die!

COMMENTARY

It is hard not to notice the urgency of this letter. There is no standard introduction, the word for army, tuzzi, is actually spelled syllabically (contra standard practice), haste is urged, the threat is dire, and even the handwriting seems hastily scrawled out.
