Anonymous Sumerian · Ur III / Old Babylonian (c. 2100–1600 BCE)

(The supervisor answers:) "The teachers, those learned men, should value you highly. (2 mss. add 3 lines, 1 of the 2 mss. adds 2 more lines which correspond to lines 67 and 68 in this edition:) They should xx in their houses and in prominent places. Your name will be hailed as honourable for its prominence. For your sweet songs even the cowherds will strive gloriously. For your sweet songs I too shall strive and shall xx. The teacher will bless you with a joyous heart. You who as a youth sat at my words have pleased my heart."
