Translation
1 The bull of the earth, noble one,
2 frantic calf, constantly-goring, raging,
3 swift, pulling back, ...[
4 fierce in the courtyard ...[
5 In the Apsû its clay was pinched,
6 the footing of the wall bore it – the envoy of death.
7 Its tail is fire, carrying poison,
8 [It has] h[orns, it] has no head.
9 ... ... ...
