1. [EN₂ šu?-pu?]-tu₂#? {d}iš₈-tar₂ GAŠAN MAN!(MAD){+tu₄} šur-bu-tu₂ DINGIR-MEŠ#-ti₃#
#tr.en: [Incantation: O resple]ndent Ishtar, lady, queen, exalted one among the goddesses,
#note: On the tentativeness of the suggested restoration, see Maul and Strauß 2011: 111. The prayer may show parallels to Ishtar 8 but also deviations, as in this first line.

2. [x x x x] x# AN{+e} KU₃-MEŠ sa-niq-ti {d}i₂-[gi₃-gi₃]
#tr.en: [. . .] . . . the pure heavens, the keeper of the I[gigi],

3. [x x x na?-maš?]-ti#? KI IGI x#-[x x x]
#tr.en: [. . . the ani]mals of the earth you oversee, . . . [. . .] 
#note: Maul and Strauß 2011: 111 suggest the last sign may be RU but offer no restoration.

4. [x x x x x x] x# x# GIM {d}UTU nap#?-[ha-a-ti]
#tr.en: [. . .] . . . like Shamash [you are li]t up.
#note: Maul and Strauß suggest the beginning of the line reads [... at-t]i??-⸢ma⸣?? (2011: 111). The restoration at the end is their suggestion.

5. [...] x# x# tuš#?-te#?-[še-ri x x]
#tr.en: [. . .] . . . you guide a[right . . .]

6. [... kul?]-lat#?-si#?-na#? ba#?-[hu-la-ti]
#tr.en: [. . .], the popu[lation], all of them, 
#note: The restoration here follows Maul and Strauß 2011: 111, but it is based on mere traces and the assumption that this line parallels BMS 32: 12'. Also, Maul and Strauß include a line 7 in their edition, which reads [...] x [...], but I see nothing on the tablet to warrant this.
