It’s really nuanced. 1. He takes on an implied insult because the servant wasn’t treated properly 2. It was actually Nanni who owed Ea-Nasir a Mina of silver. 3. Comparisons between others who traded with Ea-Nasir.. And finally: [..]Other tablets have been found in the ruins believed to be Ea-nasir's dwelling. These include a letter from a man named Arbituram who complained he had not received his copper yet, while another from Imgur-sin says he was tired of receiving bad copper.[..] Ea-Nasir seems like a chuckling evil genius ..he kept all the complaint tablets..probably read them and had the last laugh while enjoying a nightcap. I was very impressed by the stern tone of the complaint while weaving in personal grievances. Fascinating!!
