Letter from Sîn-iddinam to the god Utu

O youthful Utu, for that reason look favourably upon your city Larsam! Say "Alas!" for your city! Say "Alas for the sanctuary!" xx! Extend sympathetic compassion to Larsam! Take heed of the causes of distress, and make xx leave xx Larsam! Remove xx and distress from its midst (?) (1 ms. has instead:) within Larsam ! xx the frightful (?) xx in Larsam, so that xx may escape the clutches of death. xx may its seed be great! May xx sing your praise!
