1. [EN₂ (x)] u₂# ru tu₂# git₂-ma-lu du-un-nu
#note: There are two suggested restorations for the beginning of this line. Mayer (1990: 467) suggests [EN₂ reš-t]u?-°u₂ šub-tu₂, "[prime]val dwelling." Alternatively, Abusch and Schwemer 2016: 309 read [EN₂ at-ru(?)] ⸢šam⸣-ru-⸢tu₂⸣(?), "[exceedingly] fierce" (311, with 312). However, there may not be enough room for so many signs. See p. 312, where they also discuss the grammar of "perfect in strength."

2. [... ša₂]-nu-du ša₂-qu-u ina E₂-KUR

5. [x x (x)] E₂-ŠU-ME-KU at!-ma-nu ra-šub-ba
#tr.en: [. . .] of Eshumesha, the awe-inspiring cella,
#note: Perhaps the KU should be read še₃ or eš₂; so Mayer 1990: 467, n.5(1). Duplicates attest ša₄.

6. [sa]-kip# ek-du-tu la-iṭ-ṭi ab-ru-tu₂
#tr.en: [Who f]ends off the ferocious, who keeps the strong in check. 
#note: Restorations, unless otherwise noted, follow Mayer 1990:467-468. The meaning of the adjective abru is uncertain; compare CAD A/1, 63 and CDA, 3. Mayer (1990: 469) rightly suggests defining it vis-à-vis the parallel term ekdu, "wild, furious," used in the first part of the line.

11. [...]-x#-šu₂# an-na zu-kur ia#-a#-ti#
#tr.en: [. . .] . . . , speak an affirmative answer for me.

14. [...] u NUN# [...]

#tr.en: [May] the great divine mother [release] their bonds.

7. [{d}NIN]-URTA# EN git₂-ma-lu ka-ru-bu
#tr.en: [O Nin]urta, O lord, perfect, revered one,
