Translation

Rev.

109 I have hit your(m.) head; you keep crawling on the ground towards me like ….

110 You, like a boar, [lay(?)] on the ground,

111 until I gain my victory like a child!

----

112 Indeed, even the garlic plant carries its own staff!

113 Indeed, even the bull carries its own staff!

114 Just like the river had flowed over its bank,

115 so I will engender myself!

116 (so) I will engender my body!

 

Up. Ed.

117 I have opened for you(m.) – Oh Erra-bāni – my seven gates!

118 His h[ead(?)]...

119 ... I have released him(?).

120 Let the constant consummation of your(m.) desire (lit. heart) come to completion in me!

----

 

Left Ed.

Sky, star, earth, stars!

Sky, star, earth, stars!

----

Incantation of the shred of the cross-road.
