It was she who gave birth to the holy one, gave birth to the holy one; the queen gave birth to the holy one, Abī-simtī i.e. Šu-Suen's mother gave birth to the holy one, the queen gave birth to the holy one -- my cloth beam of the cloth of pleasure, my Abī-simtī! My warp beam placed for weaving, my queen Kūbatum i.e. Šu-Suen's concubine!
