Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.
And now bitake þee to my lord, þe kyng of Assiriens, and Y schal yyue to þee twei thousynde of horsis, and thou maist not yyue of þee stieris of tho horsis.
