xx in princeship. Ruler, leader of the Anuna deities, prince of the just decision, Lord Ašimbabbar, An and Enlil have made you perfect for the sky. Beloved of the king, making the good crown sparkle, coming forth on high, you come forth like bright sunlight, whether at noon or in the night. Youthful Suen, lord, xx son of the Great Mountain and born of Ninlil, given a good destiny by his grandparents Enki and Ninki -- they have given xx to him, the just lord of the sky.
