2. [šar]-ra-at {d}1(u) 5(diš)-MEŠ ra#-ba#-a-tu₄ {d}[i₂-gi₃-gi₃]
#tr.en: [Que]en of the goddesses, great one of the I[gigi].
#note: There seems to be a colon before {d}15. But, I cannot explain why there would be a break in the line at that point. There is also an erasure before {d}Igigi.

#tr.en: [O Er]u'a, pre-eminent of the gods, cherished one of the E-[abzu],
#note: The restoration at the end of the line comes from K.9995.

4. [hi-rat {d}DUMU]-DU₆#.KU₃ šal-ba-bu a-pil {d}nin#-ši#-[ku₃]
#tr.en: [Wife of] wise [Dumud]uku (i.e. Marduk), heir of Ninš[iku] (i.e. Ea),

#tr.en: [From] sunrise to (lit. and) sunset, the subjects of [Enlil],
#note: The restoration at the head of the line comes from eBL, supported by the fact that the preposition often precedes the two nouns (see CAD Š/2, 442). Ebeling suggestes restoring [i-lat], "goddess of," but this seems unlikely (1953: 68). I am restoring the end of the line with K.3429+ (= P395006); see also CAD Š/2, 442 and Ṣ, 215.
