SEAL no. 7186
Thureau-Dangin 1939 , 12
A bilingual, but not parallel text (Obv. Akkadian- Rev. Hurrian). The Akk. is perhaps a love incantation, showing some similarities to the Isin collection of love incantations (ZA 75). Note the vulgar and argumentative character of the text, as well as the emphasis on the dialogue itself (ll. 7-12).

2 I have enveloped you like a f[og].
3 I have thrown you down, (your?) anus...
4 I have taken a bowstring, I have fastened your lips.
5 I have attacked you like a wolf,
6 I have thrown my excrement over you like a lion.
7 Let me command, let my command be more e[levated(?)] than your command!
8 let me speak, let my utterance be louder than your utterance!
9 Just as the masters are superior to the servants,
10 may my words be superior, in the same way, to your words!
11 Just as the rain is superior to (lit. heavy on) the land,
12 may my words be superior, in the same way, to your words.
14 so that I will not strike your cheek.
