Anonymous Sumerian · Ur III / Old Babylonian (c. 2100–1600 BCE)
Your mudguard is Utu xx the horizon, xx. The front of your mudguard is the ornament of (?) xx. Your implements are Nanna who fills the midst of heaven with delight. Your axle is xx which xx a flood. Your rope-box is a whip xx which rouses up the donkeys. Your pole-pin is a huge open battle-net which does not let the evildoer escape. Your farings are the exalted princely divine powers sought out with great care. Your platform is warriors fiercely attacking each other. Your side beams are strong breeding bulls carrying a heavy load. Your cross-beams are urgent young men embracing each other. Your side-boards are xx. Your foot-board is xx. Your seat xx.
