| Obverse [0:7] o 1o 1–o 77 | Speak to my lady Ninmug, thus says Ninurta-qarrad, your servant: (Because) Ishum listens to your speaking, intercede for me with Ishum for this sin that I committed. |
| Obverse [7:20] o 88– | When you have interceded for me, with a cheerful attitude I will bring a sacrifice to Ishum and to you I will bring a sheep. When I proclaim praises before Ishum, I will (also) proclaim praises to you. |
