(Trans. of Akk. only)
Obv.
1–3 Aching belly which is covered like a box, like the water of a river it does not know where to go, like the water of a well it has no flow.
4–5 Its [opening?] is covered like a brewing jar: food and water cannot enter into it.
6–7 Marduk observed it and called to his father, Ea (saying):
8–12 “Oh my father! (There is an) aching belly which is covered like a box, like the water of a river it does not know where to go, like the water of a well it has no flow. (Rev.) Its opening is covered like a brewing jar: food and water cannot enter into it".

13 Ea answers Marduk:
14–16 “My son, what do you not know? What can I add to it? What I know, you know; What you know, I know!
17–18 (As for the patient) – be he a human being, or a bull, or a sheep – ex[tract] (out of him) a lump of salt and thyme!”
19–21 “[May he drop (it)] in the form of excre[ment]! [May he eject it] in the form of a b[elch]! [May he make it go out] in the form of w[ind!"]
Incantation of the opening of [… …]
22 To the wind (you say) 4 (times): "O my belly! O my belly! Heaven (and) earth ... […]"
23 When into the (sick) person, the middle of the body ... [...]
24 He will drop it. He will consume honey(?).
25 The belly will come to rest; The b[elly will recover].
