12 Be gone evil, before the apkallu-priest of the gods, Marduk! Depart evil,
13 before the one belonging to Asalluḫi, before the apkallu-priest of the gods, Marduk! Marduk
14 [on] your command the exorcist-priest casts an incantation of life and death!
15 Send any head-acheaway! (Concerning) the beautiful young man (of) the gods, …
16 Numerous are the diseases, I don’t know their names! With dew?
17 they have come; with a fog they drizzled down; like dew?
18 on the field(s) (and) meadow(s), like a fog gliding down over the steppe. On the command of Ea,
19 [lord of the incantation], they are present?; On the command of ditto (= Ea) they devour […]!
20 When ditto (= Ea) had created them, when?he had raised them,
21 [when?] he covered them with a (terrifying) brilliance, [(then) they descended] from heaven:
22 The ašû-disease, the samanu-disease, amurriqānu-disease, aḫḫāzu-disease,
23 the ummu-disease, the liʾbu-disease, the almu-disease, the allamu-disease, the diʾu-disease,
24 the messengers who are in service of Anu […]
25 [st]aff? of Anu, the alû-demon, the overwhelming one, […]
26 the evil alû-demon, the kuraštimmu?- disease, the ummu-disease, […]
27 the naplaštu-demon, the utukku-demon, the šīqu-disease, the šaššaṭu-disease, [lamaštu],
28 labaṣu!(text: aḫhāzu) , aḫhāzu, the Ḫayyattu-demon, the lilû-demon, the lilītu-demon,
29 verily the ardat lilî-demon, striking of the nose-disease, the ḫimiṭ-ṣēti-disease,
30 the great gallû-demon, who are high/exalted!? in the city, who keep entering the houses,
31 who keep crossing over the rooftops, 32who are looking for, keep surrounding, (and) keep attending 31to the beautiful young man (and) the beautiful young woman
32 on the street.
33 Asalluḫi sees them (i.e. demons/diseases) and speaks to his father: “My father, one unique beautiful of men,
34 his body is imprisoned by a (terrifying) radiance!” “Come, (my) son Asalluḫi!
35 With an incantation, tamarisk and the soap-plant, release his body! Bestow upon him your incantation of life!
36 Head-ache, tooth-ache, lung-ache, belly-ache,
37 sorcery, whatever evil of men, (all kinds of) evil doings,
38 they should not come near him (i.e. the patient)! Conjure them by complete destruction?!” Like sweat
39 from the brow(s), drip away! Like mucus
40 through the nasal passages, slither out! Like a belch (from) the throat, go out!
41 Like wind from the anus! Like a fog floats over the steppe! Through the sorcery of the exorcist-priest of the gods,
42 Marduk, slither away and be expelled! Like a fog floats over the steppe!
43 […] Leave! Be gone! Get lost! Go away!
44 You (pl.) are […]! You (pl.) are expelled! You (pl.) are chased away!
