Translation
9 When Gula was walking in bravery, (her) dogs were walking behind her.
10 - “Worms ! to (my) side ! to me !” Prayer(s) and Laughter that were walking behind her.
10–11 When Sîn came out of Nippur he released the [fly( ?) /ee]l( ?) and the scorpion to the head. My lord threw the larva to the child’s nose.
12 May the child not experience (any more of) his illness, may he not experience (any more of) his distress, (of) his anxiety !
13 I have sealed (his) nose and (his) ear. I have sealed the sutures of his skull that Allatum has loosened.
14 She threw (him ? it ?) in between her breast. This incantation is not mine : (it is) the incantation of Gula.
