Translation

Obv.

1 [Incanta]tion. The claw of Anzû is a scorpion,

2 [Bu]t she, the witch, piles up

3 her witchcraft.

4 Let me emerge against her like the rainbow (in) the sky,

5 Let me blow against her like the east wind

6 and the west wind.

7 Let me destroy her cloud, let me destroy her storm,

8 Let me scatter her witchcraft, which she has been practicing

9 against me.

10 And the messages that she has been sending

11 against me.

12 Asleep is the ford, asle[ep is the quay],

13 The [s]ailors, a[ll of them,

14 [a]re asle[ep],

15 Upon [d]oo[r and bolt, locks are placed].

 

Rev.

beginning broken

16 [At the ris]ing of Šama[š, the judge of people],

17 [What she ha]s pinched from the river, [let it be her (own) clay]!

18 What she has picked up from the door, [let it be her (own) ...]!

19 What she has gathered in the street, let it be [dirt] of her (own) 

20 foot!

21 What she has dragged from the pit, let it be [her] (own) hair com[bings]!

22 What she has taken from a conversation,

23 Let it be the conversation of her (own) mouth!

24 And the pride of her (own) head!

25 At the rising of Šamaš I shall undo them!

26 Let the imḫur-līm-plant strike her cheek!

27 Let the gišGAN.U5-wood undo her witchcraft!

28 Let the maštakal-plant return

29 her word to her mouth!

30 Let the bent wand release the knots of

31 the machination of her mind!
