Translation
1 INCANTATION: Fire of a violent storm! Fire of battle! It grasped the rope from above!
2 It devoured the forests, it devoured the reed-thicket, it paralyzed the young man among his brothers,
3 it paralyzed the young girl between his! (text: her) breasts, it paralyzed the oxen and the cows, it paralyzed the sheep
4 and the animal stall. –“You have eaten my flesh!”- Why are you gnawing on
5 his bones? ? May you not eat bones! You should not eat rotten flesh and rotten sinews!
6 (So) go up into the pure mountains! Eat the acorns and the terebinth,
7 the best fruit among fruit to prepare a meal! (So) go down (into the reed-thickets) and eat
8 the pure? cumin! Like water from the gutter that does not return,
9 so may the išātu-fever not return to its place! Like a rib of palm-frond does not return to its date palm,
10 so may the išātu-fever not return to its place! INCANTATION.
