| surface a 1 | For Nanna, |
| surface a 2 | lord of offerings who makes the sky bright, |
| surface a 3 | first-born son of Enlil, |
| surface a 4 | his master, |
| surface a 5 | Kudurmabuk, |
| surface a 6 | father of the Amorite land, |
| surface a 7 | son of Simti-šilhak, |
| surface a 8 | one who a favor to the Ebabbar temple |
| surface a 9 | did repay, |
| surface a 10 | who a main gate of Larsa in the city wall |
| surface a 11 | did open, |
| surface a 12 | and so to all the people |
| surface a 13 | caused light to come forth from it, |
| surface a 14 | and who Ur and Larsa |
| surface a 15 | did settle in peaceful residences. |
| surface a 16 | For his life |
| surface a 17 | and the life of Warad-Sin his son, |
| surface a 18 | the king of Larsa, |
| surface a 19 | the E'eškite temple, |
| surface a 20 | his residence that gladdens the heart, |
| surface a 21 | like a mountain he made tower there |
| surface a 22 | and so set its top next to the sky. |
| surface a 23 | As a marvel to the nation |
| surface a 24 | for all time he set it up there. |
| surface a 25 | For this deed, |
| surface a 26 | may Nanna and Ningal |
