| Reverse [0:5] r 2222–r 2626 | [... they shall bury him] where he d[ictates], and he shall lie [where it was his wish]. Where he lies [you shall not disturb him], and you [shall not raise] your hand [against him], to do him evil, [because he is] one who has deserved kindness and fa[vour of the king his lord]. |
| Reverse [5:10] r 2727–r 3131 | Whoever [disturbs him and removes him] from the gra[ve where he is lying], may the king his lord [be angry with him and show him no mercy, may he forbid him to walk] i[n] tem[ple and] palace, and in the wrath of go[d and king] may a bloodstained we[apon await him]. May [the dogs] te[ar apart] his corpse as it lies un[buri]ed. |
