1'. [... ṣi]-i#-ri# us#-mi# [...]
#tr.en: August [. . .], worthy one of [. . . ],

2'. [{d}EN.LIL₂].BAN₃#.DA it-pe-šu ka#-[ru-bu]
#tr.en: Expert [Enlil]banda, greeted wi[th reverence],

3'. [ur-ša₂]-an# e-ri-du ABGAL {d#}[i₂-gi₃-gi₃]
#tr.en: [Her]o of Eridu, sage of the [Igigi],

4'. [... e₂-engur]-ra# ṣu-lu-lu e₂-u₆#-[nir]
#tr.en: [. . . E-engu]ra, protection of E-u[nir],

5'. [ba]-bil# mi₃-lu HE₂.GAL₂ mu-riš ID₂.DIDLI#
#tr.en: [The one who] brings the flood of abundance, who makes the rivers rejoice.

6'. [ina] ta#-ma-a-tu₂ u ṣu-ṣe-e tu-da-aš₂-ša₂-a
#tr.en: [Among] the waters and reed thickets you bountifully bestow <abundance>.
#note: It seems this witness to Ea 1a has left off the final word in the line, attested in other witnesses: HE₂.NUN, "abundance."

7'. [ina] qer#-be₂-e-tu₂ tu#-šab-ši ZI{+tu₂}
#tr.en: [Among] the meadows you create life.
#note: This line is substantially shorter than those in the duplicates. Perhaps this witness has left off the end of the line, which in other witnesses reads UN.MEŠ ({d}aš₂-na-an), "of the people, (grain)." The final word is inconsistently attested in the manuscripts.

8'. {d#}a-num {d}+EN.LIL₂ ha-<diš> ri-šu-ka
#tr.en: Anu (and) Enlil are rejoicing joyfully on account of you.

9'. {d#}a-nun-na-ki ina ma-ha-zi-šu₂-nu
#tr.en: The Anunnakki-gods <greet you> in their shrines.
#note: It seems this witness to Ea 1a has left off the final verb, which reads i-kar-ra-bu-ka, "they greet you," in other witnesses.

10'. UN-MEŠ# ma#-a-tu₂ iš-tam-ma-ru MU-ka
#tr.en: The people of the land praise your name.
#note: Again, it seems this witness to the prayer has left off the final word, attested in the duplicates: kab-ta, "noble."

11'. [a-na DINGIR-ME] GAL#-ME ta-nam-din mil-ki
#tr.en:  [To the] great [gods] you give counsel.

12'. [... ina] te#-ka# ša₂ ba-la-ṭu#
#tr.en:  [. . . on account of] your incantation of life
#note: The line is incomplete, compared to other witnesses, which have: la i-mat LU₂.UŠ₂, "the moribund need not die."

13'. [...] x# [...]
#tr.en: [. . .] . . . [. . .]
#note: Abusch and Schwemer wonder whether this line might continue the partial, previous line (2016: 335).
