Translation
1–2 Fire has been inflamed in the p[ure?] heaven,
3 The sikkatum-disease (pox?) has fallen
4 over the entire herd,
5 burned up
6 the kids, the lambs
7 and the children on the shoulders of the nurse.
8–9 Speak to my mother, Nin-girim:
10 “May the face of the herd be bright!
11 May Sumuqan rejoice!
12 May the herb rejoice!
13 May the path be happy!”
14 May I keep carefully placing solar-disks
15 on the pedestals of the great gods
17 Incantation for a sheep (inflected) with sikkatum.
