O city, …… from the abzu like barley, cloudy plain,
taking the divine powers (alien technology) from its midst,
Kuara, your foundation and just banqueting hall,
the lord who does not hold back his goods stands ready for admiration.
The Seven Sages have enlarged it for you from the south to the uplands.
(Marduk, eldest “son of the Abzu” to Enki)
Your prince, the most precious prince Asarlui (Marduk)__,
the most precious one, is a warrior, born a noble prince, a leopard who seizes prey.
He is like an onrushing storm battering the rebel land.
As long as it remains disobedient, he pours spittle upon it.
(ziggurats were homes for the gods)
Asar-alim-nuna, the son of the abzu, has erected a house in your precinct,
O house Kuara, and taken his seat upon your dais.
Colophon (line 11): 11 lines: the house of Asarlui in Kuara.
