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

When Ama-šilama had gone on board the barge, a cry approached the heavens, a cry approached the earth, that great demon set up an enveloping cry before him on the river: "Urim, at my cry to the heavens lock your houses, lock your houses, city, lock your houses! Shrine Urim, lock your houses, city, lock your houses! Against your lord who has left the ĝipar, city, lock your houses!" [1 line fragmentary] [approx. 1 line missing]
