| surface a 1 | For Nanna, |
| surface a 2 | the lord, the great lion of heaven and earth, |
| surface a 3 | his master, |
| surface a 4 | Ibbi-Sîn, |
| surface a 5 | the god of his country, |
| surface a 6 | the sovereign who, how every sort of divine attribute |
| surface a 7 | should be properly performed, knows fully, |
| surface a 8 | the mighty king, |
| surface a 9 | king of Ur |
| surface a 10 | and king of the four world quarters, |
| surface a 11 | when in Susa, |
| surface a 12 | Adamšaḫ, |
| surface a 13 | (and) the land of Awan |
| surface a 14 | he roared like a storm, |
| surface a 15 | made them submit in a single day, |
| surface a 16 | and took their lord(s) into captivity, |
| surface a 17 | because Nanna |
| surface a 18 | had brought them back in his great arm, |
| surface a 19 | and had taken away their heavy gold and dark(?) silver, |
| surface a 20 | Ibbi-Sîn, |
| surface a 21 | the prince with great power, clad in fearsomeness, |
| surface a 22 | with wide intelligence - |
| surface a 23 | a golden seven-teat jar, |
| surface a 24 | whose openings let out honeyed water(?), |
| surface a 25 | whose golden (drinking) reed |
| surface a 26 | is a channel running majestically, |
| surface a 27 | a thing fit for the first-fruits offerings, |
| surface a 28 | whose copper sickles(?) |
| surface a 29 | are strong multiple reed ..., |
| surface a 30 | a mountain range growing pure clean junipers, |
| surface a 31 | with breasts making things numerous |
| surface a 32 | for(?) youthful Suen |
| surface a 33 | which are unceasing - |
| surface a 34 | for his life |
| surface a 35 | he dedicated it to him. |
| surface a 36 | A person who the order of an evil thing |
| surface a 37 | shall issue regarding it, |
| surface a 38 | and from the exalted platform of the (divine) dining hall |
| surface a 39 | and the festival place |
| surface a 40 | of Nanna |
| surface a 41 | shall cause it to be held back, |
| surface a 42 | may the great gods of heaven and earth |
| surface a 43 | curse him. |
