Translation
Obv.
29 .... [the worm(?) se]ized(?)
30 ...
Rev.
31 ... ... May it/she not return to [its/her] place ...
32–33 Oh my ...! Oh my sta[r...]! ... [my] [achi]ing to[oth]!
33 He/it is placing ... on the top of her aching tooth
34 You (or: she) will touch her star-ornament
35 and thus you (or: she) will say three times:
36 "[Oh s]tar! my star! my tooth is aching!
37 Carry away [the pa]in of my tooth!" The spell (lit. word) is a healing spell.
Commentary
29: Restoration tentative.
32: By the end, what is left of the last broken sign could be ŠI, and then, perhaps š[i?-in?-ni?].
33: At the beginning, perhaps [ma?-ru?-uš?-t]a-am, but space is probably not enough. What follows is, if correctly understood, a form of nadûm (for its use in a similar context, see CAD Š/3, 50a)
37: Note the designation awātum for “incantation”. A similar use is found in YOS 11, 15:4 // YOS 11, 29: 24.
