1-7 The ...... of E-temen-ni-guru, the organisation of the house of Eridug, the radiance of the house of prayer, and the erected banners of the E-ana were all given as gifts to the house. My good house floats like a cloud; its name too is a favourable omen.

33-46 The good minister of E-ana clasps him by his right hand and brings him in joy before the queen. A prayer is made: "O God, may the king whom You have chosen in Your heart, Your beloved servant, enjoy long days! Give him a propitious and famous reign, give him a royal throne of kingship on its firm foundation, give him the sceptre to guide the Land, and the staff and crook, and give him the righteous headdress and the crown which glorifies the head! From the rising of the sun to the setting of the sun, from the south to the north, from the upper sea to the lower sea, from where the halub tree grows to where the cedar grows, over all Sumer and Akkad, grant him the staff and the crook!

47-59 "May he act as shepherd of the black-headed inhabitants; may he, like a farmer, make the fields productive; may he make the sheepfolds multiply, like a trustworthy shepherd. Under him, may there be flax, may there be barley; in the rivers may there be carp floods. Under him, may there be mottled barley in the fields; in the marshes, fish, and may the birds chatter. Under him, may the old reeds and the young reeds grow tall in the reed-beds; under him, may the macgurum bushes flourish on the high plains. Under him, may the wild sheep and wild goats multiply in the forests; under him, may the irrigated orchards produce syrup and fruit. Under him, may lettuce and cress flourish in the garden plots; under him, may there be long life in the palace.

60-64 "May high flood-waters flow in the Tigris and Euphrates, may the grasses grow tall on their banks, and may the meadows be covered. May God pile high the grain heaps and mounds. O Lord of heaven and earth, who encompasses heaven and earth, may he enjoy long days under Your protection."
