| surface a 1 | For Nanna, |
| surface a 2 | his beloved master - |
| surface a 3 | the Dublamah, |
| surface a 4 | since ancient days |
| surface a 5 | though not an offering(?) place |
| surface a 6 | where daily rations had been withdrawn |
| surface a 7 | having become, |
| surface a 8 | since its temple had not been rebuilt |
| surface a 9 | Amar-Suena, |
| surface a 10 | beloved by Nanna, |
| surface a 11 | whom, in Nippur, |
| surface a 12 | Enlil |
| surface a 13 | chose by name, |
| surface a 14 | the constant supporter |
| surface a 15 | of the temple of Enlil, |
| surface a 16 | the mighty man, |
| surface a 17 | king of Ur |
| surface a 18 | and king of the four world quarters, |
| surface a 19 | the Dublamah, |
| surface a 20 | the temple which is the wonder of the country, |
| surface a 21 | his place of judgment, |
| surface a 22 | where from his net |
| surface a 23 | the enemies |
| surface a 24 | of Amar-Suena |
| surface a 25 | do not escape, |
| surface a 26 | that temple he rebuilt |
| surface a 27 | and made resplendent for him. |
| surface a 28 | With gold, silver and lapis lazuli |
| surface a 29 | he decorated it for him. |
| surface a 30 | Amar-Suen |
| surface a 31 | shall therewith prolong his life. |
| surface a 32 | A person who, when the temple has become old, |
| surface a 33 | having rebuilt it, |
| surface a 34 | but this inscription |
| surface a 35 | and its utensils |
| surface a 36 | from its standing-place |
| surface a 37 | does not change, |
| surface a 38 | in the eyes of Nanna |
| surface a 39 | may he find favor. |
| surface a 40 | But a person who this inscription |
| surface a 41 | shall erase |
| surface a 42 | and its utensils |
| surface a 43 | to its standing-place |
| surface a 44 | shall not return, |
| surface a 45 | may the serpent of Nanna |
| surface a 46 | be set upon him, |
| surface a 47 | and to his descendants |
| surface a 48 | may Nanna |
| surface a 49 | make an end. |
