Gilgameš and Aga

Gilgameš, the lord of Kulaba, placing his trust in Inana, did not take seriously the advice of his city's elders. Gilgameš (1 ms. adds:), the lord of Kulaba, presented the issue again, this time before the able-bodied men of his city, carefully choosing his words: "There are wells to be finished, many wells of the Land yet to be finished; there are shallow wells of the Land yet to be finished, there are wells to deepen and hoisting gear to be completed. Never before have you submitted to the house of Kiš. Should you not smite it with weapons? (1 ms. has instead:) We should not submit to the house of Kiš. We should smite it with weapons! "
