This passage may contain a ritual. (Sumerian?). In Wasserman 2003a it was considered not as a separate incantation but as part of ZA 75, 198-204f.  The tablet was found broken and sealed inside a vase in the corner of a wall. The present tablet was originally cut of a 3-columns tablet, before(?) our text was inscribed on it. CDLI No. P355910.

Commentary

73–77: We follow Wilcke (1985b, 191) and take this passage to be a separate incantation. Yet this is not certain. Lines 73–77 are very broken and one cannot rule out the possibility that it is a ritual that precedes the coming incantation (note that the verb šaqûm appears in the incantation against anger). The end of l. 75 še-še-e (-)me-e[n?] seems to be Sumerian.
