When Nuska , the head of the assembly, had received Enlil's instructions, he wasted no time ……; he directed his steps to Ereš . He entered E-zagin , the residence of Nanibgal ( a name of Nisaba ) and prostrated himself before Nanibgal on her dais. …… of Enlil ……, and she (?) asked him ……: "…… what ……?" 7 lines missing 1 line fragmentary ( Nuska speaks:) "…… Sud ……. What you have told me ……." Then Nanibgal went on speaking flatteringly to the minister: "Adviser, fit for his (?) king, ever observant (?)! Who like you could give counsel daily to the Great Mountain? How could I contest the king's message which his slave has received? If there is truth in what you have told me -- and may there be no falsehood -- who could reject one who bestows such exceedingly great favours? …… makes our mood and hearts happy. Let us consider that amends have been made. By bringing the marriage gifts and the presents in his name the insult is wiped away. Tell him: "You shall become my son-in-law; do as you wish!" Tell Enlil , the Great Mountain: "Do as you wish!" Let his sister come from her side, and she shall accompany Sud from here. Aruru shall become Sud's sister-in-law: let her be shown the household. Inform your lord thus in his august Ki-ur . Repeat this to Enlil in the privacy of his holy bedchamber."

He patted it like a lump of clay, he examined it like a clay-tablet: "He may dwell with Inana in the E-zagin of Aratta , but I dwell with her …… as her earthly companion (?). He may lie with her in sweet slumber on the adorned bed, but I lie on Inana's splendid bed strewn with pure plants. Its back is an ug lion, its front is a piriĝ lion. The ug lion chases the piriĝ lion, the piriĝ lion chases the ug lion. As the ug lion chases the piriĝ lion and the piriĝ lion chases the ug lion, the day does not dawn, the night does not pass. I accompany Inana for a journey of 15 leagues and yet Utu the sun god cannot see my holy crown, when she enters my holy ĝipar . Enlil has given (?) me the true crown and sceptre. Ninurta , the son of Enlil , held me on his lap as the frame holds the waterskin. Aruru , the sister of Enlil , extended her right breast to me, extended her left breast to me. When I go up to the great shrine, the Mistress screeches like an Anzud chick, and other times when I go there, even though she is not a duckling, she shrieks like one. She …… from the city of her birth. No city was made to be so well-built as the city of Unug (?). It is Unug where Inana dwells and as regards Aratta , what does it have to do with this? It is brick-built Kulaba where she lives, and as regards the mount of the lustrous me , what can it do about this? For five or 10 years she will definitely not go to Aratta . Since the great holy lady of the E-ana took counsel with me (?) about whether to go also to Aratta , since she {let me know} {( 1 ms. has instead: ) told me} about this matter, I know that she will not go to Aratta . He who has nothing shall not feed the geese with barley, but I will feed the geese with barley. I will …… the geese's eggs in a basket and …… their goslings. The small ones into my pot, the old ones into my kettle, and the rulers {of the Land} {( some mss. has instead: ) of Sumer} who submitted will consume, together with me, what remains from the geese."
