| 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 Anum |
| surface a 6 | to the shepherdship of Malgium |
| surface a 7 | called me by name, |
| surface a 8 | for great Anum, |
| surface a 9 | who keeps secure the throne |
| surface a 10 | of my kingship, his temple |
| surface a 11 | which over many years had fallen into disrepair, |
| surface a 12 | I inspected and renovated. |
| surface a 13 | An ... offering meal, |
| surface a 14 | his sacred food, |
| surface a 15 | and his praised(?) water, |
| surface a 16 | on the day of the new moon and the 15th day |
| surface a 17 | I established for him on a continual basis. |
| surface a 18 | Also for Ninšubur, |
| surface a 19 | a portion for his office of chief minister |
| surface a 20 | from the offering meal |
| surface a 21 | of great Anum, |
| surface a 22 | endlessly, |
| surface a 23 | I indeed had set up for him. |
| surface a 24 | For Ulmaššītum, |
| surface a 25 | she who called my name, |
| surface a 26 | the Emaš temple, the seat of her veil, |
| surface a 27 | the great courtyard, |
| surface a 28 | home of the numerous people, |
| surface a 29 | his temple of exultation and courtyard of joy |
| surface a 30 | where she and Ninšubur |
| surface a 31 | the joys of abundance |
| surface a 32 | and festivals of happiness of heart |
| surface a 33 | therein |
| surface a 34 | do regularly celebrate. |
| surface a 35 | With a great terrace |
| surface a 36 | its foundations in/with ... |
| surface a 37 | I did ... |
| surface a 38 | frontings(?) of baked brick |
| surface a 39 | ... a courtyard |
| surface a 40 | befitting her divinity |
| surface a 41 | and youthfulness. |
| surface a 42 | Dãn-bītim and Rašub-bītim, |
| surface a 43 | the lions her envoys, |
| surface a 44 | they who go at her side |
| surface a 45 | at the place of royal libations |
| surface a 46 | and burning-flour offerings of the numerous people, |
| surface a 47 | I did indeed install. |
| surface a 48 | I inspected the temple, and its routines |
| surface a 49 | I put in order. |
| surface a 50 | Holy sasqû offering-flour, |
| surface a 51 | a kulmašītu priestess, |
| surface a 52 | two hundred female tigū-instrument players, |
| surface a 53 | great music - |
| surface a 54 | an appropriate clangor - |
| surface a 55 | which for her great divinity |
| surface a 56 | was suitable, |
| surface a 57 | in that temple I did indeed set in place. |
| surface a 58 | Whoever removes my foundation document |
| surface a 59 | (or) my inscribed name |
| surface a 60 | makes disappear |
| surface a 61 | (and) writes his name (on it) |
| surface a 62 | let him examine the temple(?), |
| surface a 63 | renew the ... |
| surface a 64 | (and) build up the terrace. |
| surface a 65 | He who the name of king Takil-ilissu |
| surface a 66 | does not restore to its place, |
| surface a 67 | that person, whether a king, |
| surface a 68 | or a governor, a gudu priest, |
| surface a 69 | or any one among humanity |
| surface a 70 | called by name, |
| surface a 71 | may Anum, king of the great gods, |
| surface a 72 | look with disfavor and his kingship's |
| surface a 73 | foundation tear out. |
| surface a 74 | and may his kinghip in wailing |
| surface a 75 | be ended. |
| surface a 76 | May Annunītum, |
| surface a 77 | who loves my reign, |
| surface a 78 | destroy him, |
| surface a 79 | and a great pain |
| surface a 80 | put in his body, |
| surface a 81 | a punishment which has never before existed |
| surface a 82 | among the people. |
| surface a 83 | May Ulmašītum, |
| surface a 84 | who called my name, |
| surface a 85 | the advising of his obliteration, |
| surface a 86 | the verdict of non-life for him |
| surface a 87 | forever, may she speak. |
| surface a 88 | May Ninšubur, the vizier of Anum, |
| surface a 89 | his forehead |
| surface a 90 | strike, and |
| surface a 91 | confuse his mind. |
| surface a 92 | May Dãn-bītim and Rašub-bītim |
| surface a 93 | with Annunītum |
| surface a 94 | and Ulmašītum |
| surface a 95 | make bad |
| surface a 96 | their omens |
| surface a 97 | forever. |
