Koke to Dani.

I greet Dani. It is good that I paid homage to my brother. Is he denying us (?)? And eagerly he became humble. I passed over myself. May my brother Manoshshi (?) [send (?)] to Douwwa’s people these things of the elder, causing comfort. For, when you tell (him) the way, until... your letter... glory... don’t leave me. [I rejoice (?),] fully knowing... your glory. Don’t leave me.
