Translation

Col. ii

1 Brick mould of lapis lazuli,

2 brick board of pure (silver):

3-4 a scorpion stung an envoy, son of [his] god.

5-6      (Give) the messenger water to drink,      

7 so that the traveller is not held up!

8 Let him continue travelling!

9 The incantation is not mine,

10  it is an incantation of Enki, Asalluḫe

11  and Ensigalabzu.

12  By command of Enki,

13  Asallube and Ensigal-Abzu

14  may the stung person get better,

15  and Enki's command come true!

16  If a stung person comes (to you),

17-19   you place dough in his armpits and his groin(?).

20 If a messenger

21 comes to you,

22 you cast the spell over water

23 and he drinks it.

24 You say to him as follows,

25 "So-and-so,

26 you are alive and well!"

27 Incantation formula for a scorpion.
