2[2to the one named Nabu-šuma-iškun, the prince, ". . . you are] one of the my father's princes, who [ate] my father's bread
3[ 3. . . Arise and go!] You must look for [this Ahiqar]. Wherever you
4[4Ahiqar, you must kill him and bring me his body. . .Why sh]ould this old [Ah]iqa[r,] a wise scribe
5[5be foolish?. . .] Why does/will he damage the land against us?" Then when

1515. . .] "I am he Ahiqar who previously saved you from an innocent murder.
1616[. . . when the king Sennacherib,] the father of this very king Esarhaddon, was angry with you
