1. EN₂# {d}NISABA šar-rat hu#?-ma#?-li-ti#
#tr.en: Incantation: O Nisaba, sympathetic queen,
#note: The reading of the last sign follows Frechette with Hrůša 2011: 91. The duplicate BM 78219 indicates that ḫumalīti is the correct reading of the last word here, as Van Buylaere 2010d suggests.
 
2. [ba]-na-at₂ DINGIR u LUGAL u NAM#.LU₂#.U₁₈#.[LU]
#tr.en: [The one who m]akes deity and king and humani[ty],
#note: The reading at the end of the line follows Mayer's suggestion (1998: 270).

3. [sa]-par₃ {d}a-nun-na-ki DINGIR-MEŠ ek-[du-ti] 
#tr.en: [N]et of the Anunnaki, the furi[ous] gods,

7. sul#-li#-mi-im-ma DINGIR ze-na-a {d}1(u) 5(diš) ze#-ni#-ta#
#tr.en: Soothe (my) angry (personal) god, my angry (personal) goddess.

8. an-nu-u₂-a lip-pa₂-aṭ-ru gil₂-la-tu-u₂-a li-in#-[na-ab-ka]
#tr.en: May my faults be released, my transgressions [led away].
#note: For the restoration of the final verb, see Mayer 1976: 113, 117, as suggested by Frechette with Hrůša 2011: 93.
 
9. hi-ṭa-tu-u₂-a [(x)] lim-ma-[ša₂]-a 
#tr.en: May my mistakes be forg[ott]en,

10. i-il#-ti# lip-pa-ṭir ka-si-ti li-ir-[ta-am]-mi₃#? 
#tr.en: May my sin be forgiven, my bond become sla[cke]ned.

11. pa-ṭar#? i-il-ti-ia liq-qab-bi# LIP x# [...] x#

12. da#-lil DINGIR{+ti-ki} [ka-a-a-an lu]-ša₂#?-pi
#tr.en: [May I] make manifest the praise of your divinity [constantly].
#note: The reading of the verb follows Frechette with Hrůša 2011: 92. The photo may show traces of what is presented here as restored text. Collation is required.

14. [DINGIR ŠA₃].DIB.BA GUR.RU.DA.KAM₂

16. [EN₂] DINGIR#{+at} nu-uh-še {d}NISABA šar#-ra-tu₂# DUMU.MUNUS {d}e₂-a
#tr.en: [Incantation]: O goddess of plenty, queen Nisaba, daughter of Ea,

17. [{d}]NISABA šar-ra-tu₂ pal#-ka#-tu₂ ha-si-sa
#tr.en: O queen Nisaba, broad with understanding,
#note: The reading ⸢pal-ka⸣-tu₂ follows Lambert 1999-2000: 153.

18. [...] {d}MUŠ a-bu DINGIR#-MEŠ ša₂ ki-iš-ša₂-ti
#tr.en: [. . .] Nirhan, father of the gods of the world,
#note: Lambert suggests restoring mārat at the head of the line (Lambert 1999-2000: 153). MUŠ = IRḪAN, according to Lambert 1999-2000: 154-155.

19. [kal?]-lat# {d}EN.LIL₂ LUGAL {d}NUN.GAL-MEŠ mu-šim NAM#-MEŠ
#tr.en: [Bri]de(?) of Enlil, king of the Igigi, who determines the fates,
#note: The restorations at the head of the line here and in the next line follow Van Buylaere 2010d. Lambert suggests possibly a word for "wife" or "beloved," [na-ar/ra-m]at (1999-2000: 155).

20. [kal?]-lat#? {d}EN.LIL₂ ma-li#-ku# LUGAL kiš-šat AN{+e} u KI{+ti₃} mu-šim NAM#-MEŠ# 
#tr.en: [Bri]de of Enlil, the counsellor, the king of the entirety of the heavens and earth, who determines the fates,

21. [um]-mu a-lit-tu# ša₂-mu-uh-te ru!-ba-tu GAL{+tu} šar#-ra-tu₂ {d}NIN.LIL₂
#tr.en: [The mot]her, the prosperous giver of birth, the great princess, queen Ninlil:
#note: Lambert may be correct when he states "[t]he Glossenkeil in the middle of this line consists of four wedges in a diagonal row, and apparantly marks a sign not legible or lost on the original" (1999-2000: 155). I wonder, however, if the four wedges might be the beginning of a poorly formed RU, which was abandoned before completed. Van Buylaere 2010d reads the same.

22. [mu]-bal-li-ṭa-at nap-šat te#-ne₂-še!(TE)-ti at-ti : be-let x# x# (x#) DINGIR-MEŠ GAL-MEŠ 
#tr.en: You are the [one who] provides the sustenance of humankind. The lady . . . the great gods.
#note: Van Buylaere follows Wiseman and Black in reading ⸢KU₃?-tu?⸣ after be-let, thus "pure lady" (2010d; Wiseman and Black show no brackets or doubt, 1996: 53). Lambert prefers x AMA. "mother" (1999-2000: 153). I wonder if we might read be-let ⸢ša₂-sa-at⸣ DINGIR-MEŠ GAL-MEŠ, "The lady who summons the great gods." The last part of the proposed epithet is known elsewhere in rituals associated with divination, when the gods are called to judge the case with an offering of grain, personified as Nisaba (Tallqvist 1938: 228, citing BBR, nos. 89 and 95). Note the next line has to do with provisioning the cult sites. Collation is required to be sure of any proposed reading.

23. [za?-ni?]-nat?# ma-ha-zi pa-qi₂-da-at eš-re#-ti 
#tr.en: [Who prov]ides for the cult places, who attends to the shrines,
#note: The restoration goes back to Lambert 1999-2000: 153.

24. [x x x] x# x# x# x#  u₂-ṣu-ra-ti : ša#?-qa₂#?-ti
#tr.en: [. . .] . . . the exalted plans
#note: Wiseman and Black (1996: 53) read the four undeciphered signs as x ra x ki? te (likewise, Van Buylaere 2010d). Lambert leaves them undeciphered (1999-2000: 153).

25. [...] u šu-pa-a-ti#
#tr.en: [. . .] and resplendent [. . .]

26. [x] x# KA# x# A# ta#-na#?-da#-ti 
#tr.en: [. . .] . . . praise
#note: I am following Van Buylaere's suggestion for the restoration of the last word (2010d); Lambert has much more doubt about reading the line (1999-2000: 153).

27. [at]-ti#?-ma ana {d}+EN.LIL₂# tuš#-ta-an-ni HE₂#.GAL₂#{+la}
#tr.en: [Yo]u, indeed, doubled the yield for Enlil.
#note: The reading here and in the next line follows Lambert 1999-2000: 153.

28. tu-kaš₂#-ši-šu qar-ba-tu ina x# [(x)] x# NI
#tr.en: You made the meadowlands profitable for him with . . .

29. u hi-da-a-tu₂ ra-a-mu x# x# x#
#tr.en: And rejoicing . . .
#note: Following Van Buylaere 2010d.
 
30. kab-tu₂-u₂#?-ma ul iš-ša₂-an-na-nu ul i-šu-u ma-hi-ra ra-šu-ki-(x?)
#tr.en: They are honored and incomparable; they have no rival. . . .
#note: Van Buylaere, following Lambert's suggestion (1999-2000: 155), reads the last word of the line ba!?(RA)-lu?-ki (x), "apart from you" (2010d).

31. i-si-nam x# x# x# x# x# RU U u ši-si-tu₂ ku-um-ma# 
#tr.en: . . . and summons are yours.
#note: Lambert takes the first word to mean "in the grain-stalk" (išinnu); also, he reads ti?-ru-u (1999-2000: 153).
##note: After NAM, perhaps read MU# HA# NA# TE#.

32. ana di-ni da-a-a-ni# EŠ.BAR KUD{+si} BAR? NI? BI x#
#tr.en: To judge a case, to render a verdict, . . .
 
33. pa-sa-x# šu-lum ZI{+ti} šu-zu-zi at-ti
#tr.en: . . . You indeed are the one who brings about well-being of life.
#note: Wiseman and Black read the first three signs PA SA RU? (1996: 53); Van Buylaere suggests pa-sa-⸢si?⸣ (2010d). Lambert suggests šu-zu-zi "looks like a stative with an imperative ending.  šuzuzzāt would be better" (1999-2000: 155).
 
34. tu-kan-ni#-ma DINGIR u MAN il₃-tu MAN{+tu₂} tu-<še>-pi-ši šar#?-ru-ta
#tr.en: You appoint god and king, goddess (and) queen (to their position). You establish kingship.
#note: See Lambert 1999-2000: 155 for the emendation. I derive the first word, in light of the second half of the line, from the D stem of kânu, "to establish firmly," or, with a person as grammatical object, "to assign a person to a position" (CAD K, 166), rather than kanû, "to treat kindly, to honor," as do Van Buylaere (2010d) and Lambert (1999-2000: 154).

35. e-la ka-ši UN-MEŠ ul ir-re-ha-a šik-nat ZI{+ti} ul ib-ba-na-a
#tr.en: Without you, people would not be conceived, living beings would not be created.

36. ṣal-mat SAG#.DU ka-la ma-la ib-ba-na-a mim-ma šum-šu ku-um-ma 
#tr.en: The black-headed ones, all (of them), as many as are created whatsoever, are yours.
#note: The "whatsoever" rendering of mimma šumšu after mala is inspired by a similar attestation in VAS 1 37 v 23, cited in CAD M/2, 76.

37. ša₂ KI.TI.LA A-MEŠ KI.TI.LA#?{+ma#?-si} ša₂ E₂ DINGIR uṭ-ṭah-ha-du-u-ki
#tr.en: As for the one (who has) a protective spirit (lamassu): The protective spirits of the temple (lit. the house of the god) are copiously supplied with water for you.
#note: The above translation is presented as another attempt to make sense of this difficult line. The ancoluthon introduces the logical subject. The supposed ritual context is one of restoration and thanksgiving like the one in Ludlul V 60.

38. mu-x#-[x] mar-ka-si-šu₂-nu mu-nam-me-rat qut-re-nu-šu₂-<nu>
#tr.en: Who . . . their (i.e., the lamassū's) bonds, who makes their incense (offerings) ignite.
#note: Lambert restores mu-d[i?-šat], "she who [renews?]" (1999-2000: 154) at the head of the line; Van Buylaere suggests mu-⸢kil?⸣-[lat?], "the holder of" (2010d).

39. mu-sal#-li#-mat DINGIR ze#-ne₂#-e {d}1(u) 5(diš) ze-ni-ti
#tr.en: Who soothes the angry (personal) god (and) angry (personal) goddess,
#note: The readings of the next several lines follow Lambert 1999-2000: 154, except where noted otherwise.
 
40. mu-bal#-li#-ṭa-at šik-nat ZI{+ti} at!(AB)-ti-ma!(UD) 
#tr.en: Who restores the living beings to life: It is you!
#note: The reading at the end of the line follows Van Buylaere 2010d, which is likely based on the duplicate in K.3508.

41. {d}a-num# {d}EN.LIL₂ {d}e₂-a DINGIR.MAH er-ṣe-ta a-lit-ta-ki
#tr.en: Anu, Enlil, (and) Ea, Belet-ili, the Earth who bore you, 

42. ša-ma#-mi# mu#-rab-ba-ki ta-ram-me-ma
#tr.en: The Heavens who raised you: You love (them).
#note: See Lambert 1999-2000: 155 for the deified heavens and earth in this line and the one preceding.

43. ana DINGIR-MEŠ ša₂ ir-ru-x x x NI#? a-bu-ti ṣab-ti qi₂-bi-i SIG₅{+ti}
#tr.en: Intercede with the gods who . . . , speak with favor (for me). 

44. ṣa-a-hu šam-ru# x# x# šu-pu-tu₂ lib₃-ba-šu₂ li-zi-qu-ni#?
#tr.en: As for the amused, the furious, may the sublime . . . {gods?} vex his heart. 
#note: The reading follows Lambert 1999-2000: 154. I take the first two words as substantives describing the supplicant's social enemies, a person who is either amused at the supplicant's hardship or angry with the supplicant.

45. sul-li-mi-ma DINGIR šab-sa {d}1(u) 5(diš)! ze-ni-ti#
#tr.en: Soothe (my) irrate (personal) god (and my) angry (personal) goddess.
#note: The scribe wrote 14 instead of 15.

46. ina ik-[ri-bi] šu#-kin#-ni la-ban ap-pi# 
#tr.en: So that with [my] pra[yer], prostration, the touching of my nose,

47. tes₂-li-ti# x# x# x# lip-ru#-su#-nin-ni ia-[ti]
#tr.en: My supplication . . . they may decide (in my favor) for m[e].

48. KA.[INIM].MA# ina NIG₂.NA ana DINGIR-šu₂ u₂-nam-mar 
#tr.en: The w[ordi]ng. He ignites (a fire) in a censer for his god.

49. ana IGI#? x# x# IL₂{+ši}-ma ina NIG₂.NA DUB{+aq}-ma
#tr.en: In front of . . . he raises, and he strews (it) in the censer, and
#note: The duplicate, K.3508, rev. 12, suggests the head of this line starts ana IGI, "in front of."

50. ana DINGIR ša lib₃-bi-šu₂ DUB{+aq} 
#tr.en: He strews it for his personal god (lit. the god of his heart).

#note: DU₃-at is Mayer's suggestion (1998: 270).

52. ha-mi#-mat par₂-ṣi ša₂ KI-ša₂ ša₂-nin-ki man-nu
#tr.en: The one who gathers the cultic ordinances that belong to her: Who is your equal?

53. ga#-ši#-ra-te DINGIR-MEŠ ne₂-bu-u MU-ki
#tr.en: Most powerful one among the gods, your name is brilliant.
#note: The readings at the head of the next dozen lines are based on Zgoll (2003: 100), unless otherwise noted.

54. u₂#-ša₂#?-pa-a qur-di-ki ba-hu-la-te
#tr.en: (Your) subjects make your heroic deeds manifest.
#note: Zgoll credits Mayer for the reading at the head of this line (2003: 100).

55. [šu]-pu#-u!(AŠ) nar₃-bu-u₂#?-ki UGU DU₃ DINGIR-MEŠ at-ru

57. [{d}]a-nu AD-ki i-šim-ki šim-tu₂
#tr.en: Anu, your father, determined your fate.

58. [ina] pu-hur {d}NUN.GAL-MEŠ MU-ki ul-li 
#tr.en: [In] the assembly of the Igigi, he praised (lit. elevated) your name.

59. [ina ša₂]-ma#-mi qaq-qa-ri šum-ki ib-bi
#tr.en: [In the h]eavens (and) the earth, he called your name.

60. [te?-ne?]-še-ti ṣe-ra-su-nu tu-kal-li ZAG-ki
#tr.en: You hold the nose-rope of [the peop]les with your right hand.
#note: As Zgoll observes (2003: 100), the TU is written over a mistaken LI, part of which is still faintly visible between TU and KAL.

61. [šar]-ru-ut AN u KI BA-ki {d}BAD 
#tr.en: Enlil presented you the [kin]gship of the heavens and the earth.

62. [DINGIR]-MEŠ# šu-ut GUB{+zu} ṣu-bu-tu₂ ma-ha-zi 
#tr.en: [The god]s, those who stand (in your presence), occupy (their) shrines. 
#note: The reading combines suggestions from Mayer, Streck, and Zgoll (see Zgoll 2003: 100).

63. [šar]-ru kam₂-su mah-ra-ki u₂-paq-qu ana ka-ši 
#tr.en: [Ki]ngs, bowed down before you, attend to you.
#note: The restorations here and in the next line are based on suggestions by Streck (see Zgoll 2003: 100).

64. [DI-MEŠ] NIG₂.ZI NIG₂!.SI.SA₂ IGI-ki kun-nu 
#tr.en: True and just [decisions] are established in your presence.
#note: See Zgoll 2003: 100n.208 for NIG₂!.SI.SA₂. Black and Wiseman (1996: 54) read u SI.SA₂. The first sign does not look like a U or a NIG₂. Streck suggests the restoration at the head of the line (Zgoll 2003: 100).

65. [...] {giš#}ŠINIG qud-du-šu IGI-ki 
#tr.en: [. . .] of tamarisk are sanctified in your presence.

2. u₂-da#-aš₂#-ši ser-qi₂ KU₃-MEŠ ana DINGIR-MEŠ šu-ut GARZA-MEŠ 
#tr.en: I have richly supplied pure offerings to the gods, those of the cultic ordinances.

3. gam-lu₄ pa-ṭir GIG DU₃-šu₂-nu um-mu-da-at GUB₃-[MU] 
#tr.en: [My] left hand holds the gamlu-tool (lit. throwing stick) that releases every illness.
#note: The gamlu is a tool of the exorcist. See CAD G, 35 for other attestations and obv. ii 30 below for its use in the (first) associated ritual.

4. {d#}NISABA# mu-sa-li-mat DINGIR ze-ni-i na-ša₂-ku im-nu-u-a

7. nam-ru ZALAG₂-ki li-<<GAB>>-bi-ba SU!(ZU) HUL-MEŠ# 
#tr.en: May your radiant light cleanse (my) body of evils.
#note: Zgoll and Mayer contributed to the reading of this line (2003: 101). With Van Buylaere (2010d), I think the GAB is a mistake.

8. DINGIR-MEŠ šu-ut par₂-ṣi li#-ki-šu GIG ša₂ SU!(ZU)-MU#

#note: There are erasures before and behind the last preserved sign on the line. Several improved readings (over Wiseman and Black 1996: 55) that have been adopted here (through obv. ii 38) go back to Zgoll 2003: 101-102.

17. DUB{+aq} NINDA.I₃.DE₂.A LAL₃ I₃.NUN.NA GAR{+an}

#note: Zgoll indicates that something is missing here (2003: 102). Van Buylaere (2010d) translates the text "[y]ou put down 3 ḫaṣbu-pots each," but the syntax speaks against this: we expect the verb at the end of the clause not in the middle. I suspect that a couple of lines have dropped out by way of parablepsis. The scribe's eye could have skipped from one GAR-an at the head of a line to another, leaving out a couple of lines of the ritual instructions in between; or, the GAR-an at the head of the next line could be a poorly formed, mistaken repetition of AM₃ at the end of this line, and after continuing with haṣ-bi, the scribe's eye skipped again from a GAR-an to the similar looking NIG.NA₂. In any case, the instructions do not make sense here. 

37. GAR{+an} haṣ-bi NIG₂.NA ŠIM.LI ta-sar₂-raq

#tr.en: . . . of Nisaba, she is queen; [her?] fate (is) in the palace. 
#note: Van Buylaere renders the line, "... Nisaba, she is queen, greatest of the palace, fate [(...)]," reading GAL (instead of <MA> ina) E₂.GAL at the beginning of the second half of the line. At the end of the line, there is only room for one sign at most, if any, so that šim-ta must somehow fit with the last half of the line. My reading, assuming an error, is an attempt to do that. 

46. HE₂#?.NUN nab-ni-is-sa uh-tan-nab

#tr.en: You (she?) gives him days of old age, a reign of plenty.
#note: Wiseman and Black 1996: 55 read the last word nu-uḫ-d[i]. The ta- prefix may be an Assyrianism here and in the next few lines since a second person verb does not fit the wider context.

49. LU₂ tap-pal-su-šu₂ ši-ma-tu₂ u₂-ma-šil [(x)]

50. ta-šar₂-rak#-šu₂ IBILA u NUMUN šu-ma
#tr.en: You (she?) give(s) him a son, and progeny (lit. seed), (and) a name.
#note: The reading at the head and end of the line goes back to Mayer 1998: 270. For the end of the line, compare Wiseman and Black 1996: 55: NUMUN-šu ma-[aʾ-du?] and Van Buylaere: NUMUN-šu ma-[a?-du?-ti?].

#tr.en: She is the strong one, she is the goddess, she is the queen, and she is the lady! Indeed Tashmetu [is great(?)]!
#note: The emendation at the head of the line follows Van Buylaere (2010d), who also reads ši-ma-<ti> later in the line, "lady of the fates." The reading be-let is from Mayer 1998: 270. The restoration at the end is my conjecture, based on a similar phrase in LKA 40, rev. 5ˊ.

54. ki-ma šur-ba-ti#-ma be-el-ti as-sa-[hur DINGIR{+ut}-ki]

58. [si-lim] KI ia#-ti# pa#-lih#-[ki ...] 
#tr.en: [Be at peace] with me, the one who reveres [you . . .]
#note: My reading here mostly follows Van Buylaere, except she reads ⸢si-lim⸣ at the beginning (2010d). The restoration is based on LKA 40, rev. 10ˊ. Wiseman and Black give: x x ki ⸢su an ul⸣ [ (1996: 56). In the remainder of the line, we would expect the scribe to have squeezed in the concluding promise to praise, nar-bi-ki lu-uq-bi da₃-li₂-li₂-ki lud-lul, as in LKA 40, rev. 11ˊ. If the scribe wrote the signs close together, he could have gotten it all in. Compare the writing in obv. ii 48.

#note: The reading at the head of this line is conjectural, based on a parallel in K.3432+, rev. 12. The LUM is clear and thus, given the context, must indicate the presence of dates, ZU₂.LUM.

#tr.en: [Be]loved one of the lord, Nabu, who establishes the mainstay of the gods, the son of Shazu (i.e., Marduk),
#note: The last sign is written in the margin.
 
36. ha#?-as-su ina <DINGIR?-MEŠ?> pa-ti-qat ka-la nab-ni-ti
#tr.en: Wise one among <the gods(?)>, who forms all the creatures,
#note: It seems to me that something has dropped out of this line. Given the fact that PA and TI look fairly close to DINGIR and MEŠ, this may be a case of simple parablepsis.

37. [a]-ši#-rat šik-na-at ZI{+ti} ka-liš ma-ha-zi
#tr.en: [The one who orga]nizes the living beings (and) all the shrines,
#note: Van Buylaere suggests [muš-te]-⸢ši⸣-rat (2010d), but I don't think there is enough room. The above suggestion fits the space and makes equally good sense in context.

38. [ma?]-la {d}UTU i-hi-iṭ-ṭu gi-im-ra
#tr.en: (Their) totality, [a]s many as Shamash can survey,
#note: I take the line to mean "every single (shrine) under the sun."

39. {d#?}NA₃#? ip-qi₂-du iš-tu ru-qa#-tiš₂!(TUŠ)-šu 
#tr.en: (And) Nabu(?) has provisioned since ancient times.
#note: The reading at the head of the line is my conjecture. Collation is required. I understand iš-tu ru-qa-tiš₂-šu on analogy to ana dāriš. The third person suffix refers to the subject (Nabu, perhaps) of the sentence, who has provisioned all of the shrines from the (years) at a distance to him (i.e., for a very long time).

#note: Van Buylaere 2010d suggests: ⸢a?-na?⸣-ku at the head of the line. Wiseman and Black read dam-qu₂, "kind one"(?) (1996: 58).

46. a#-na ma-ru-uš-ti im-hur#-an#?-ni#?-ma#? x# x# IGI# x# x# x# x#

#tr.en: Have mercy on me and accept my prayer. . . . turn . . .
#note: The above suggested reading is based on the photograph; it requires collation. See also Mayer 1998: 271. Perhaps read in the middle of the line: IGI?-B[AR-an-ni-ma]?

48. x#-x# di-ni a-lak#-ti lim-di#
#tr.en: (Judge) my case; learn my situation.
#note: Wiseman and Black 1996: 58 read the final two signs ši-mi. We expect di-ni at the head of the line. 

49. a#-na {d}NA₃ ha-i-ri-ki a-bu-ti ṣab-ti#
