Incantations, flatus?
Provenance
Notes

Only the beginning of this incantation is left. The lyrical description of the wind over the sea is rare and atypical to incantations. Yet, as it is found in a multi-text tablet of Sumerian and Akkadian incantations, this text is, most probably, the hystoriola of an incantation – perhaps against flatus, or other gastrointestinal problems.
