The lord who stocks the Great House, a favourable omen.

136-150 The great one of the Land fixed a destiny for your broad heart and, when your umbilical cord was cut, appointed you to lordship. The benign lord, the beloved of the Lord, has fixed the crown of life firmly upon your head. In the deep your Creator has increased abundance for you.

151-168 The mother of the Land has caused you to lay the foundations with your hands in Isin. The judge, the king of heaven and earth, has confirmed for you in your hands the sceptre which brings the black-headed to justice.
