Col. ii
1 Brick mould of lapis lazuli,
2 brick board of pure (silver):
3-4 a scorpion stung an envoy, son of [his] god.
5-6 (Give) the messenger water to drink,
7 so that the traveller is not held up!
8 Let him continue travelling!
9 The incantation is not mine,
10 it is an incantation of Enki, Asalluḫe
11 and Ensigalabzu.
12 By command of Enki,
13 Asallube and Ensigal-Abzu
14 may the stung person get better,
15 and Enki's command come true!
16 If a stung person comes (to you),
17-19 you place dough in his armpits and his groin(?).
20 If a messenger
21 comes to you,
22 you cast the spell over water
23 and he drinks it.
24 You say to him as follows,
25 "So-and-so,
26 you are alive and well!"
