House given birth by a lion, whose interior the hero has embellished (?)! House Keš , given birth by a lion, whose interior the hero has embellished (?)! The heroes make their way straight into its interior. Ninḫursaĝa sits within like a great dragon. Nintur the great mother assists at births there. Šul-pa-e the ruler acts as lord. Ašgi the hero consumes the contents of the vessels (?). Urumaš , the great herald of the plains, dwells there too. Stags are gathered at the house in herds. Will anyone else bring forth something as great as Keš ? Will any other mother ever give birth to someone as great as its hero Ašgi ? Who has ever seen anyone as great as its lady Nintur ?
