Translation

1–9      [The sikkatum-disease (pox?), fe]ver, the ašûm-disease, the ziqtum-disease, bad collapse, the šamagu-disease, the sāmānu-disease, the gergiššu-disease (skin disease), the ṣennettum-disease (leprosy?), the sweet simmu-disease, the ekketum-disease (scabies?), the rišītum-disease (redness), bloody feces, shivering, the šagbānu-disease and the šaššaṭu-disease (joints sickness?)

10–12  came down from the ziggurat of heaven, burned up the sheep, the lambs, caused the children on the shoulders of the nurse to be somber.

13–16  Whom should I send and assign to the Daughters of An, seven and seven, whose vessels are gold, their jars pure lapis-lazuli?

17–18  Let them take for me their vessels of gold, their jars of pure lapis-lazuli,

19–20  Let them draw for me pure water of the se[as], let them sprinkle, let them extinguish

21–29  the sikkatum-disease, fever, the ašû-disease, the ziqtu-disease, bad collapse, the šamagum-disease, the samānu-disease, the gergiššum-disease, the sernettum-disease, the sweet simmu-disease, the ekketum-disease, the rišītum-disease, the bloody feces, shivering, the šagbānu-disease, the šaššaṭu-disease.

30        A pure spell of Damu and Ninkarrak.

31–35  The incantation is not mine, it is the incantation of Nin-girima, Enki (and) Asalluḫi, which Nin-girima has cast and [I] have taken.
