| object composite text 2 | the high lord, |
| object composite text 3 | who alone is great, |
| object composite text 4 | most excellent one of heaven and earth, |
| object composite text 5 | who like a shepherd in the steppe |
| object composite text 6 | brings in all the creatures, |
| object composite text 7 | who all things, whatever |
| object composite text 8 | the name, |
| object composite text 9 | does care for, |
| object composite text 23' | The lord ... |
| object composite text 24' | who ... the numerous people, |

| object composite text 28' | the mighty man, |
| object composite text 29' | the shepherd who makes the 'heart' of Nippur good, |
| object composite text 30' | provider of Ur, |
| object composite text 31' | king of Larsa, |
| object composite text 32' | king of Sumer |
| object composite text 33' | and Akkad, |
| object composite text 34' | the man who the great wall |
| object composite text 35' | of Larsa did build, |
| object composite text 36' | and Larsa, the ancient city, the .. of heaven and earth, |
| object composite text 37' | did cause to have an exalted name, |
| object composite text 38' | the shepherd who fears |
| object composite text 39' | Enlil and Ninlil, |
| object composite text 41' | I, the one who set it/them up for prayer, |
| object composite text 42' | with seven bronze statues ... |
| object composite text 49' | ... bronze ... |
| object composite text 50' | did make perfect, |
| object composite text 53' | in the shrine Ekur |
| object composite text 54' | in order to have ... on the top(?), |
| object composite text 55' | and pleasing words in praise of my kingship |
| object composite text 56' | in order to establish, |
| object composite text 57' | the statue of so-and-so, |
| object composite text 58' | son of so-and-so, |
| object composite text 59' | servant of ... |
| object composite text 60' | I(!) fashioned there, |
| object composite text 61' | and to bring back an eternal name |
| object composite text 70' | n+6 sila bread each, |

| object composite text 76' | my servant, |
| object composite text 77' | for each day thus I set. |
| object composite text 78' | For now and forever afterwards |
| object composite text 79' | the person who the statue of so-and-so |
| object composite text 80' | son of so-and-so |
| object composite text 81' | my servant, |
| object composite text 82' | whatever named thing |
| object composite text 83' | which has been set as taboo, |

| object composite text 85' | does not obliterate its (original) name, |
| object composite text 86' | or from its standing place |
| object composite text 87' | does not remove it, |
| object composite text 88' | or into a storehouse |
| object composite text 89' | does not bring it, |
| object composite text 92' | and who the beer and bread, which for a marvel |
| object composite text 93' | was set up there, |
| object composite text 94' | from the statue of so-and-so |
| object composite text 95' | my servant |
| object composite text 96' | shall not cut off, |

| object composite text 100' | be unrivaled, |
| object composite text 101' | and its ... |
| object composite text 102' | may it strike! |
| object composite text 103' | When Enlil |
| object composite text 104' | the enkar weapon and shepherd’s staff |
| object composite text 105' | for the shepherdship of the country |
| object composite text 106' | had established, |
| object composite text 107' | if |
| object composite text 108' | either his statue |
| object composite text 109' | or the the statue of his servant |
| object composite text 110' | into the Ekur, |
| object composite text 111' | the temple of Enlil, |

| object composite text 116' | His own statue |
| object composite text 117' | in front of the statue of his servant |
| object composite text 118' | may he not set up in that place. |
| object composite text 119' | May he not have it stand at that place, |
| object composite text 120' | but outside of it let him stand it up. |
| object composite text 121' | A person who an order of wickedness |
| object composite text 122' | shall issue against it, |
| object composite text 122' | and a bronze statue of so-and-so, |
| object composite text 125' | the son of so-and-so, |
| object composite text 126' | my servant, |
| object composite text 127' | whatever named thing |

| object composite text 134' | or who his own statue, |
| object composite text 134' | in front of the statue of so-and-so, |
| object composite text 137' | my servant, |
| object composite text 138' | shall set up, |
| object composite text 139' | or into a storehouse |
| object composite text 140' | the statue of so-and-so |
| object composite text 141' | my servant |
| object composite text 142' | that one shall bring in, |
| object composite text 147' | he has ..., |
| object composite text 148' | and its inscriptiom |
| object composite text 149' | he shall erase |
| object composite text 150' | and write his own name on it, |
| object composite text 151' | or because of the curse, another person |
| object composite text 152' | he incites to do this, |
| object composite text 158' | That person, whether a king or an en priest, |
| object composite text 159' | or an ordinary living personage, |
| object composite text 160' | called by whatever name, |
| object composite text 161' | may that person |
| object composite text 162' | not acquire a name, |
| object composite text 163' | and may the gods ... |
| object composite text 164' | and ... |
| object composite text 165' | both curse him. |
| object composite text 170' | (May) the god Enki ... |
| object composite text 171' | the prince ... |
| object composite text 172' | the river ... |
| object composite text 177' | at the ... place .. a man ... |
| object composite text 178' | his enemy |
| object composite text 179' | in the opening, the place ... |
| object composite text 180' | foot and hand ... |
| object composite text 195' | may all its peoples |
| object composite text 196' | be felled with weapons, |
| object composite text 197' | and his city a wasteland |
| object composite text 198' | and ruins may it be. |
| object composite text 199' | May his country collapse |
| object composite text 200' | and be reckoned among the (ruined) mounds. |
| object composite text 201' | A person of(?) Sin, |
| object composite text 202' | like Nanna, |
| object composite text 203' | a person by that recited name |
| object composite text 204' | may he ... the head |
| object composite text 205' | and may his lofty hand ... him |
| object composite text 206' | and take(?) away the spatter(?). |
| object composite text 207' | May a wealthy person, when (his) beautiful things |
| object composite text 208' | he has left behind |
| object composite text 209' | in a city unknown to him |
| object composite text 210' | may he wander about. |
| object composite text 211' | May one richly provided with abundance |
| object composite text 212' | have it taken away from him. |
| object composite text 213' | Moreover, if |
| object composite text 214' | when (that) person |
| object composite text 217' | just as ... was done, |
| object composite text 218' | may he answer to Utu. |
| object composite text 219' | fleeing ... |
| object composite text 220' | May he become a running person. |
| object composite text 221' | The ... of the palace, |
| object composite text 222' | how he(?) will be revealed as a limitation(?). |
| object composite text 223' | An abomination of the palace |
| object composite text 224' | may he become. |
| object composite text 225' | May his city, like (as to) a dog, |
| object composite text 226' | raise a hand against him. |
| object composite text 227' | May his name be encircled(?), |
| object composite text 228' | and his revealed name |
| object composite text 229' | not be established in the country. |
| object composite text 235' | regarding (the statue) of my servant |
| object composite text 236' | which I had fashioned, |
| object composite text 237' | Zariku, |
| object composite text 238' | the leader, |
| object composite text 239' | said nothing. |
| object composite text 240' | My servant truly did him a good deed, |
| object composite text 241' | and his statue I fashioned. |
| object composite text 242' | In future days |
| object composite text 243' | after today, |
| object composite text 244' | when a servant to his master |
| object composite text 245' | has done a good deed, |
| object composite text 246' | and his statue he has fashioned, |
| object composite text 248' | ... the doorkeeper |
| object composite text 249' | having brought it into the temple, |
| object composite text 250' | may it be a living thing in the temple. |
| object composite text 251' | If a person having a complaint |
| object composite text 252' | the statue of so-and-so, my servant, |
| object composite text 253' | has damaged, |
| object composite text 254' | and on the face of his statue |
| object composite text 255' | that beautiful thing, |
| object composite text 256' | a ... hand |
| object composite text 257' | should lay upon it, |
| object composite text 258' | or the marvelous beer and bread (offerings) |
| object composite text 259' | which had been set up there, |
| object composite text 260' | from the statue of so-and-so |
| object composite text 261' | my servant |
| object composite text 262' | he has cut off, |
