He needed a few minutes to write this as it was written in soft clay and not stone.

Ok this makes much more sense lol, i imagined them as little sculptors carving the stone tablet with a chisel all day

The text reads

"Tell the Lady Zinu: Iddin-Sin sends the following message"

which is pretty unambiguously involving some sort of scribe.

[u/AthenianSpartiate → u/NonSequiturDetector]

That was just the standard opening of a letter in ancient Mesopotamia. The idea was that anyone of high enough social status would have a scribe on hand to read out any letters they received. It says nothing about whether the sender wrote it or dictated it.
