Meluha

Its king, the shepherd Naram- Suen , rose as the daylight on the holy throne of Agade . Its city wall {, like a mountain,} {( 1 ms. has instead: ) , a great mountain,} reached the heavens. It was like the Tigris {going to} {( some mss. have instead: ) flowing into} the sea as holy Inana opened the portals of its city-gates and made Sumer bring its own possessions upstream by boats. The highland Martu , people ignorant of agriculture, brought spirited cattle and kids for her. The Meluḫans , the people of the black land, brought {exotic wares} {( some mss. have instead: ) wares of foreign countries} up to her. Elam and Subir loaded themselves with goods for her as if they were packasses. All the governors, the {temple administrators} {( 1 ms. has instead: ) generals}, and the accountants of the Gu-edina regularly supplied the monthly and New Year offerings. What a weariness all these caused at Agade's city gates! Holy Inana could hardly receive all these offerings. As if she were a citizen there, she could not restrain (?) the desire (?) to prepare the ground for a temple.

"As if at the roaring of the Anzud bird, the heavens tremble at my house, the E-ninnu founded by An , the powers of which are the greatest, surpassing all other powers, at the house whose owner looks out over a great distance. Its fierce halo reaches up to heaven, the great fearsomeness of my house settles upon all the lands. In response to its fame all lands will gather from as far as heaven's borders, even Magan and Meluḫa will come down from their mountains."

Great things came to the succour of the ruler building the E-ninnu : a copper mountain in Kimaš revealed itself to him. He mined its copper onto rafts. To the man in charge of building his master's house, the ruler, gold was brought in dust form from its mountains. For Gudea refined silver was brought down from its mountains. Translucent cornelian from Meluḫa was spread before him. From the alabaster mountains alabaster was brought down to him.
