Anonymous Sumerian · Ur III / Old Babylonian (c. 2100–1600 BCE)
Sîn-iddinam -- the mighty man, the humble prince who respects Enlil; approved with a "let it be so!" by the E-kur; the young man given a propitious name by Nanna; the provider of Urim, the king of Larsam, the king of Sumer and Akkad, given broad wisdom and surpassing intelligence by Nudimmud, granted a good reign, a long life and unending abundance by Iškur, his god; who puts in order the divine plans of Eridug, who makes perfect offerings to the gods; the wise one who has restored the ancient divine powers, xx who has favourably identified his numerous people -- put in place a majestic throne, xx surpassing in form, for his lord, for his god.
