| surface a 4 | great child of Suen, |
| surface a 5 | his mistress, |
| surface a 6 | I, Warad-Sîn, |
| surface a 7 | the obedient prince of Nippur, |
| surface a 8 | provider of Ur, |
| surface a 9 | who tends to Girsu |

| surface a 14 | the youth who seeks out the (divine) instructions |
| surface a 15 | and perfects the divine plans, |
| surface a 16 | who the temples of the gods |
| surface a 17 | renovated |
| surface a 18 | and who the great statues |
| surface a 19 | that demonstrate his kingship |
| surface a 20 | did erect in grand fashion, |
| surface a 21 | who its dilapidated cities |
| surface a 22 | and its walls rebuilt, |
| surface a 23 | by whom the ones of his wide land |
| surface a 24 | were made to dwell in peaceful houses, |
| surface a 25 | reverent one who ... |
| surface a 26 | who returned the troops to (my) control - |

| surface a 40 | for far future days |
| surface a 41 | for my life I built it |
| surface a 42 | and raised up its top |
| surface a 43 | and made it grow forth like a mountain range. |
| surface a 44 | For these things that I have done |
| surface a 45 | may Inanna my mistress |
| surface a 46 | rejoice over me. |
| surface a 47 | Long days (of life), years of abundance, |
| surface a 48 | a throne with a secure foundation, |
| surface a 49 | and a scepter which makes the people bow down |
| surface a 50 | may she present to me. |
