| object composite text 1 | Nanna, |
| object composite text 2 | great head of the Anuna gods, |
| object composite text 3 | the most authoritative one of the Ekur, |
| object composite text 4 | whose divine powers embrace heaven and earth |
| object composite text 5 | and which no storm can dissipate, |
| object composite text 6 | the lord who alone is a god who comes forth resplendently, |
| object composite text 7 | the first-born son of Enlil, |
| object composite text 8 | in order to restore the ancient divine attributes, |
| object composite text 9 | and the divine plans of Ur |
| object composite text 10 | to set right, |
| object composite text 11 | from the Ekur the princely son |
| object composite text 12 | brought forth the exalted divine powers, |
| object composite text 13 | and to Iddin-Dagan, |
| object composite text 14 | given wisdom by Enki, |
| object composite text 15 | to the leader who reveals the matter, |
| object composite text 16 | who knows everything well, |
| object composite text 17 | to the righteous shepherd whom he loves, |
| object composite text 18 | he (Nanna) put them into his hands. |
| object composite text 19 | Iddin-Dagan, |
| object composite text 20 | the strong king, king of Ur |
| object composite text 21 | and king of Sumer and Akkad, |
| object composite text 22 | beloved of Nanna and Ningal, |
| object composite text 23 | he fashioned (this) for him, and for his life |
| object composite text 24 | he dedicated it to him. |
| object composite text 25 | A person who a wicked command |
| object composite text 26 | shall issue against it, and that which I have fashioned |
| object composite text 27 | shall efface, |
| object composite text 28 | or shall erase its inscription |
| object composite text 29 | and write his own name upon it, |
| object composite text 30 | or, because of the curse, another person |
| object composite text 31 | he shall get to raise a hand against it, |
| object composite text 32 | that person, whether a king, |
| object composite text 33 | an en-priest, or an ordinary living person |
| object composite text 34 | called by name, |
| object composite text 35 | may that person not acquire a name |
| object composite text 36 | and may he not produce progeny. |
| object composite text 37 | That person may Nanna my master |
| object composite text 38 | and Ningal my mistress |
| object composite text 39 | curse, |
| object composite text 40 | and may Utu and Inanna be it's unstoppable enforcer |
| object composite text 41 | forever. |
