#tr.en: [Incantation: Yo]u(?), O lord, the crescent disk, (are over) all creation.

4'. [a-šar] KI# šam-mi KI{+ti} a-dir-tu₂ ul-du
#tr.en: [The place] (where) the earth bore (my) apprehension with the plants, 
#note: I follow Hätinen's restoration at the head of the line (2021: 505 with comparisons to previous suggestions), which is similar to some of the duplicates.

5'. er#-ṣe#-tu₄ ma-hi-ra-at ana ABZU a-dir-ti#
#tr.en: Let the netherworld, which receives (it), draw (see next line) my apprehension to the Apsu.

#tr.en: may they receive my fear.

8'. ana-ku a-na su-li-ka ak#-ta-mi#-is
#tr.en: I, indeed, have bowed down to make supplication to you.
#note: Ebeling's copy mistakenly reads UK instead of AK. See Hätinen's collation (2021: 505). I wonder if the AK in this line and the DI in the previous line, which lies directly above the AK here, were slightly smudged before the clay dried.

9'. ma-har-ka lu-ši-[ir]
#tr.en: May I go arig[ht] before you.
#note: I no longer see traces of the IR (compare Ebeling's copy in LKA 25).

10'. KA-INIM-MA!# DINGIR-ŠA₃-DAB-BA#-GUR-RU-DA#-KAM*#
#tr.en: It is the word for releasing the heart of an angry god (i.e., a dingir-sha-dab-ba-prayer).
#note: The MA looks to have two verticals rather than only one. Perhaps the scribe started to write LU (the sign that follows KA in the previous line) by accident.
