| surface a 63 | Ur-Namma, the son of Ninsumun, was brought in his prime. |
| surface a 64 | The soldiers accompanying the king shed tears: |

| surface a 66 | ... was cut. |
| surface a 67 | It was stripped of the oars, punting poles and rudder which it had. |

| surface a 81 | The king slaughtered numerous bulls and sheep, |
| surface a 82 | Ur-Namma seated the people at a huge banquet. |
| surface a 83 | The food of the nether world is bitter, the water of the nether world is brackish. |
| surface a 84 | The trustworthy shepherd knew well the rites of the nether world, |
| surface a 85 | so the king presented the offerings of the nether world, |
| surface a 86 | Ur-Namma presented the offerings of the nether world: |

| surface a 145 | After seven days, 10 days had passed, |
| surface a 146 | lamenting for Sumer overwhelmed my king, |
| surface a 147 | lamenting for Sumer overwhelmed Ur-Namma. |
| surface a 148 | That he could not complete the wall of Ur; |

| surface a 155 | The trustworthy shepherd ... a heart-rending lament for himself: |
| surface a 156 | I, who have been treated like this, |

| surface a 196 | While I was so treated, foremost inanna, the warlike lady, was not present at my verdict. |
| surface a 197 | Enlil had sent her as a messenger to all the foreign lands concerning very important matters.” |
| surface a 198 | When she had turned her gaze away from there, |
| surface a 199 | inanna humbly entered the shining E-kur, |
| surface a 200 | she ... at Enlil's fierce brow. |
| surface a 201 | (Then Enlil said:) “Great lady of the E-ana, once someone has bowed down, he cannot ... (?) any more; |

| surface a 208 | Who can change the matter, if Enlil elevates someone? |
| surface a 209 | Who can change the import of the august words uttered by An, the king? |
| surface a 210 | If there are divine ordinances imposed on the Land, but they are not observed, |
| surface a 211 | there will be no abundance at the gods's place of sunrise |
| surface a 212 | My holy gipar, the shrine E-ana, has been barred up {like (?) a mountain} |

| surface a 214 | If only my strong one could grow for me like greenery in the desert. |
| surface a 215 | If only he could hold steady for me like a river boat at its calm mooring.” |

| surface a 73 | After five days, 10 days had passed, |
| surface a 74 | lamenting for Sumer overwhelmed my king, |
| surface a 75 | lamenting for Sumer overwhelmed Ur-Namma. |
| surface a 76 | As he could not complete the wall of Ur; |
| surface a 77 | as he could no longer enjoy the new palace he had built; |
| surface a 78 | as he, the shepherd, could no longer protect (?) his household; |
| surface a 79 | as he could no longer bring pleasure to his wife with his embrace; |
| surface a 80 | as he could not bring up his sons on his knees; |
| surface a 81 | as he would never see in their prime the beauty of their little sisters, who are yet to grow up, |
| surface a 82 | the trustworthy shepherd uttered a heart-rending lament for himself: |
| surface a 83 | “I, who have experienced, who have experienced fear, |
| surface a 84 | ... for the great gods, I have set up chapels for them. |
| surface a 85 | I have created evident abundance for the Anuna gods. |
| surface a 86 | I have ... treasures to their ... shining thrones. |
| surface a 87 | ... a favourable portent for me, was ... as the nether world or the heavens ... |
| surface a 1 | ... guard ... |
| surface a 2 | ... silence ... |
| surface a 3 | ... adab, flute and zamzam songs ... laments |
| surface a 4 | ... have been propped against the wall. |
| surface a 5 | ... whose beauty was endless; |
| surface a 6 | Because I have been made to sit on ... |
| surface a 7 | ... was endless, |
| surface a 8 | Because I have been made to fall in ... |
| surface a 10 | Maiden inanna, the warlike lady, ... |
| surface a 11 | Enlil had sent her as a messenger to all the great mountains.” |
| surface a 12 | When she had turned her gaze away from there, |
| surface a 13 | the trustworthy shepherd had left the E-ana, and she (?) could not see him any more. |
| surface a 14 | She ... at Enlil's fierce brow. |
| surface a 15 | Antagonistically (?) she insulted An, the king of the gods: |
| surface a 16 | “When An, the king speaks, his words cannot be changed ...! |
| surface a 17 | Ur-Namma ... |
| surface a 18 | There will be no ... at the gods' place of sunrise. |
| surface a 19 | ... holy gipar, shrine E-ana ... |
| surface a 20 | ... not enter ... |
