1 Lilītum whose e[ye is evil, a child-snatcher],
2 Sorceries and spells r[oam about?], [wander about like a lilûm-demon].
3 [In order to bind] a lad or maid [with handcuffs],
4 She went and [took] clay from the apsûm, from a hole, and loose hair.
5 She fashioned a figurine and [rolled it] in the loose hair,
6 (So that) the man is bound in his (own) hair.
7 She spat (on it) and b[uried] it in the earth.
8 She performed sorceries and they were [dropped] in the food,
9 She spat into beer and wickedly […] a spell?.
10 She made the restless [man walk about] disoriented,
11 She [cast] paralysis in that man’s nerves,
12 She twisted his arms, […] his sides.
13 Asalluhi took note,
14 He went unto his father Enki in the temple, [saying]:
15 "My father, the evil one (whose) eye is evil, a child snatcher …"
16 When he spoke a second time: "What can re[lieve] him?"
17 Enki answ[ered] his son Asalluhi:
18 "My son, what do you not already know, what can I add to it?
19 "Asalluhi, what do you not already know, what can I add to it?
20 "Whatever I know you also know,
21 "And I know whatever you know!
22 "Go, my son Asalluhi,
23 "Fill a porous pot with water from a pure quay and
24 "(Place in it) tamarisk, innuš, ‘horned alkali’, šulhi-reed,
25 "Juniper and whi[te cedar],
26 "As well as girinna, zanir, and zamušgir stones,
27 "[And you then] cast [the Eridu incantation],
(break in text)
28 May Gil[gameš(?)] undo his spell!
29 May her spells and sorceries overwhelm
30 The corpse of that witch like young hatchlings with a net!
31 May his heart not weaken like the shining heaven?!
32 May her own sorceries plague that witch like the child of a scorpion!
33 May they dig up the flesh of that witch like a stake!
34 May her own sorceries prey upon herself!
35 May she tear apart her breasts with her own forearms!
36 [May] she [gn]aw at her own fingers like cheese?!
37 May [anger] dry up [the saliva?] in her palate!
38 Whether it be Nergal, the great lord [of] the Netherworld, […],
39 Whether it be Ninurta, mig[hty] hero, […],
40 Whether it be Utu, the great judge [of] the gods, […],
41 Whether it be Ningišzida, thr[one-bearer of the gods (…)],
42 Whether it be Gibil … incantation-[priest]? […],
43 Whether it be the hero? Idlur[ugu …],
44 Whether the spittle? [be …] like a marsh,
45 By the command of An and the command [of] Enki […],
46 [May] the man, son of his god, [become clean, bright, and pure]!
47 [He should be washed] like an oil jar,
48 [He should be scrubbed] like a butter dish!
49 [He should be assigned] to Utu, foremost of the gods,
50 So that Utu, foremost [of the gods can return him in safety] to the benevolent hand of his god!
51 The god of this man and Enki and [Asalluhi?…].
52 He who was seized […],
53 By the command of Enki may [he be purified]!
