| surface a 1 | Takil-ilissu, |
| surface a 2 | the mighty king, |
| surface a 3 | king of Malgium, |
| surface a 4 | son of Ištaran-asu - |
| surface a 5 | when Ea |
| surface a 6 | and Damkina |
| surface a 7 | to the shepherdship of Malgium |
| surface a 8 | called me by name, |
| surface a 9 | (and) my lord Ea |
| surface a 10 | with his sacred mouth |
| surface a 11 | spoke to me, |
| surface a 12 | at that time, the Enamtila temple, |
| surface a 13 | its entire outside |
| surface a 14 | with a great supporting wall |
| surface a 15 | of baked bricks, |
| surface a 16 | of which, like heaven, |
| surface a 17 | the foundation was firm, |
| surface a 18 | I surrounded. |
| surface a 19 | (Thus) the eternal name |
| surface a 20 | of my kingship |
| surface a 21 | I did indeed establish. |
| surface a 22 | The one who my inscribed name |
| surface a 23 | shall erase and |
| surface a 24 | shall write his own name (on it), |
| surface a 25 | may he quickly be removed, and |
| surface a 26 | may his inscribed name |
| surface a 27 | not be restored. |
| surface a 28 | That person, whether a king or a lord, a gudu priest, |
| surface a 29 | or one who among humanity |
| surface a 30 | may be called by a name, |
| surface a 31 | may Ea and Damkina |
| surface a 32 | tear out his foundation |
| surface a 33 | and pluck up his seed. |
| surface a 34 | May Usmû, the chief minister of Ea, |
| surface a 35 | be his evil demon, |
| surface a 36 | unalterably, |
| surface a 37 | forever. |
