| Reverse [8:9] r 99–r 99 | The other had a man's head, he was crowned with a tiara, carried in his right hand a mace, in his left hand, before him, ....... In all, fifteen gods were present. I saw them and saluted [them] in prayer. |
| Reverse [9:10] r 1010–r 1010 | There was a man, his body black as pitch, his face resembling that of Anzû; he was clad in red armour. In his left hand he carried a bow, in his right hand he wielded a dagger, while he trampled on a snake with his left foot. |
| Reverse [10:11] r 1111–r 1111 | When I raised my eyes, (I saw) the valiant Nergal seated on a regal throne, apparelled with the royal tiara; with both hands he grasped two grim maces, each with two ... heads. |

| Reverse [24:25] r 2525–r 2525 | "Whose body Yabru, Humban and Naprušu protect, whose progeny they keep healthy, and whose army and camp they rescued so that no charioteer could come near him in battle. |

| Reverse [26:27] r 2727–r 2727 | "Who(ever of you) may have closed his ear to his speech, tasted the forbidden, trampled on the consecrated — the luminous splendour of his terrifying majesty will throw you down instantly, until (you are but) wind! |
| Reverse [27:28] r 2828–r 2828 | "May this word be set like a thorn in your heart! Go forth to the upper world until I think of you!", he said [to me]. |
| Reverse [28:29] r 2929–r 2929 | I woke up, and like a man who has let blood, who roams alone in a reed thicket, whom a runner catches up with, so that his heart pounds, |
| Reverse [29:30] r 3030–r 3030 | or like a just matured young boar, who has mounted on his mate, and whose innards inflate so that he gives out wind from his mouth and backside, |
| Reverse [30:31] r 3131–r 3131 | he became inflamed with lamentation and called out, "Woe, my heart!" He flew into the road like an arrow, scooped up into his mouth the dust from street and square, continually letting out terrified shriek, "Woe is me!", |
| Reverse [31:32] r 3232–r 3232 | He cried "Why have you decreed this for me?", and in his pain he praised before the peoples of Assyria the mighty deeds of Nergal and Ereškigal, who had come to the aid of the prince. |
| Reverse [32:33] r 3333–r 3333 | But also that scribe, who previously had accepted bribes, who occupied the post of his father, with the wise understanding which Ea had given him, |
| Reverse [33:34] r 3434–r 3434 | he took the words of praise to heart and spoke to himself: "So that the (curses of) the treaty may not come near me to do (me) evil, and may not threaten me, |
| Reverse [34:35] r 3535–r 3535 | let me always carry out my actions as [Nergal] has ordered!" He went and repeated it to the palace, saying: "Let this be my expiation!" |
