Anonymous Sumerian · Ur III / Old Babylonian (c. 2100–1600 BCE)
The shepherd Ur-Namma is elevated; in the house of Suen, he is the one adorned with a lapis lazuli beard. May he pass xx! xx is good, is sweet in its luxuriance. Like Ninlil who gives birth in a storm, child of Ninsumun, she has given birth to you. May holy An sit with the shepherd! xx with the shepherd Ur-Namma.
