| surface a 1 | For Nanna, |
| surface a 2 | the lord who shines splendidly against the holy sky, |
| surface a 3 | first-born son of Enlil, |
| surface a 4 | his master, |
| surface a 5 | I, Kudur-mabuk, |
| surface a 6 | father of the Amorite land, |
| surface a 7 | son of Simtu-šilḫak, |
| surface a 8 | the seer of Enlil, |
| surface a 9 | who is agreeable to Ninlil, |
| surface a 10 | who has fear of the Ebabbar, |
| surface a 11 | provider of the Ekur, |
| surface a 12 | constant supporter of the Ekišnugal, |
| surface a 13 | the man who makes pleasant the heart of Nippur, |
| surface a 14 | when Nanna to my supplications |
| surface a 15 | was agreeable, |
| surface a 16 | the evildoers who ... in the Ebabbar |
| surface a 17 | did ... |
| surface a 18 | when into my hands he put them, |
| surface a 19 | Maškam-šapir |
| surface a 20 | and Kar(a)-Šamaš |
| surface a 21 | he (Nanna) returned to Larsa. |
| surface a 22 | 'Nanna my master, |
| surface a 23 | it is you who have done it; |
| surface a 24 | I myself, what am I by myself?' |
| surface a 25 | Because of this, |
| surface a 26 | while to Nanna my master |
| surface a 27 | I was making beautiful words (or prayer), |
| surface a 28 | the Ganunmah, |
| surface a 29 | the house of silver and gold, |
| surface a 30 | the sanctuary of the heavy treasures |
| surface a 31 | of Sin, |
| surface a 32 | since in ancient times |
| surface a 33 | it had been built but now had grown old, |
| surface a 34 | for my life |
| surface a 35 | and the life |
| surface a 36 | of Warad-Sin my son, |
| surface a 37 | the king of Lagaš, |
| surface a 38 | I built it |
| surface a 39 | and did indeed restore it. |
| surface a 40 | At my deeds |
| surface a 41 | may Nanna my master |
| surface a 42 | rejoice over me, |
| surface a 43 | and a fate of (long) life, |
| surface a 44 | a good reign, |
| surface a 45 | and a throne with a secure foundation |
| surface a 46 | as a gift |
| surface a 47 | may he grant me. |
| surface a 48 | The beloved shepherd |
| surface a 49 | of Nanna may I be, |
| surface a 50 | and may my (life)time be long lasting. |
