Anonymous Sumerian · Ur III / Old Babylonian (c. 2100–1600 BCE)

"xx Ninurta, having confidence in himself; xx he will be standing; the waters will be dried up as if by the sun's heat; xx he will breathe again, he will be standing full of joy. I shall cause horrid storms to rise against xx of the hero Ninurta xx. xx as for him who resisted (?) the mountains, he has been amazed by his strength. Now I shall give my orders, you are to follow these instructions: "[1 line unclear] "xx in the fields, let him not diminish the population. xx let him not cause a lack of posterity. Let him not cause to perish the name of all the kinds of species whose destinies I, Enlil, have decreed."
