Plain text of A praise poem of Ishme-Dagan (Ishme-Dagan AC)
Segment A
1-5 To befit heaven and earth grandly, they raised the lord, the firstborn of the Most High, to a high status. So that he can reveal everything, they bestowed sevenfold wisdom upon him as a gift. They have established eternally that he should give counsel, that he should decide great fates, that he ..., and that he should provide wisdom.
6-8 The pure deep, the house whose brickwork ..., whose façade settles the mind, ... to place before him.
Segment B
1-5 He is a powerful Prince, a Lord who decides the fates; in your midst He has bestowed the powers. Nibru, your pure songs are most precious, surpassing all praise! I, Ishme-Dagan, have made every mouth utter them forever.
