{d}gilgameš2 en kul-aba4{ki}-ke4
Gilgameš, the lord of Kulaba, spoke to approached close to Aga: Aga my overseer, Aga my lieutenant, Aga my governor, Aga my commander, Aga my military commander! Aga gave me breath, Aga gave me life: Aga took a fugitive into his embrace, Aga provided the fleeing bird with grain.

(The able-bodied men acclaim Gilgameš:) You watch over Unug, the handiwork of the gods, the great rampart, the rampart which An founded, the majestic residence which An established. You are its king and warrior, an exuberant person, a prince beloved of An. (Gilgameš addresses Aga:) Before Utu, your former kindness is hereby repaid to you. I watch over Unug, the handiwork of the gods, its great rampart, a cloudbank resting on the earth, its majestic residence which An established. The city will repay the kindness shown to me. Before Utu, your former kindness is hereby repaid to you. He set Aga free to go to Kiš.
