Burê, Eziê, Gamalu, Ehiê, in all 4 in the charge of Ariaza, Kumaya, Birun, in all 2 in the charge of Ariê, 6 of these Kumayas have gone to Bususu of the house of the chief cupbearer.
The Bususians are taking the booty of Assyria from Calah and Nineveh and are bringing it to these Kumayaeans. These Kumayaeans are staying in Ayara, in the house of Remut-Ani, in the charge of Saniye, the city lord.
To the king, my lord: your servant Ashur-reshuwa. Good health to the king, my lord!
Burê, Eziye, Gamalu and Ehiye, in all four men under Ariazâ; Kumayu and Biriaun, in all two men under Ariye — these six Kummeans go and stay in Bususu, a town in the domain of the chief cupbearer.
The inhabitants of Bususu purchase Assyrian luxury items in Calah and Nineveh and sell them to these Kummeans. These Kummeans enter the town Aira of the house of Kaqqadanu, ruled by Saniye, a city lord subject to the governor of Calah, and bring the merchandise from there to Urartu. From over there they import luxury items here.

These Kumayas are abandoned. They are from Kumme.
The king, my lord, should write to Saniye, the city lord, that he should arrest these Kummeans and send them to the king, my lord.
The king, my lord, should ask them where they buy these valuables, where they sell them, who receives them from their hands, and who lets them pass the border.
These Kummeans are runaways; they have run away from Kumme.

All your enemies, wherever they are, should be in your palace. Assyria should be with you. I will keep you in good health all day and night. I will guard your throne.
I will capture and burn his calf and bring it to you. I will go and eat it in your presence. I will go and kill your enemies like a fox in your palace.
I have seized you in your palace, I have seized you, I have seized your son and your grandsons, I have sworn kingship before Ninurta.
I will bring you the lands, the lands that I have conquered.
I am a privileged man, I am a sage, I am a widow, I am a widow, I am a widow, I am a widow, I am a widow, I am a widow, I am a widow, I am a widow.
You are my friend. I have smashed these words from Arbela in your house.
May the gods of Esaggil be sated with joy in the steppe, may they bring two new ones into their presence, may they come and say good things about you.
From the mouth of La-dagil-ili of Arbela.
Like you slander,
The word of Ishtar of Arbela, the word of queen Mullissu.
I have been waiting for the king, my lord, and am waiting for the king, my lord.
I will speak to many.

The word of Ishtar of Arbela to .
I will annihilate whatever enemies you have. As for you, stay in your palace; I will reconcile Assyria with you. I will protect you by day and by dawn and consolidate your crown.
Like a winged bird over its young I will twitter over you and go in circles around you. Like a beautiful lion cub I will run about in your palace and sniff out your enemies.
I will keep you safe in your palace; I will make you overcome anxiety and trembling. Your son and grandson shall rule as kings before Ninurta.
I will abolish the frontiers of all the lands and give them to you.
Mankind is deceitful; I am one who says and does. I will sniff out, catch and give you the 'noisy daughter.'

The word of Ishtar of Arbela, the word of Queen Mullissu:
I will look, I will listen, I will search out the disloyal ones, and I will put them into the hands of my king.
I will speak to the multitudes:

During my extispicy he has continually praised you, ... your life, and your life.

I roam the desert desiring your life. I cross over rivers and oceans, I traverse mountains and mountain chains, I cross over all rivers. Droughts and showers consume me and affect my beautiful figure. I am worn out, my body is exhausted for your sake.
I have ordained life for you in the assembly of all the gods. My arms are strong, they shall not forsake you before the gods. My shoulders are alert, they will keep carrying you.
I keep demanding life for you with my lips; ... your life; you shall increase life.
O favourite of Nabû, may your lips rejoice! I keep speaking good words about you in the assembly of all the gods; I roam the desert desiring your life.
In woe I will rise and slaughter your enemy; your ... will ... and return to his country.

Kummâ awakened, mourned like a dove, and weeping "... my ground, my ground ...," he cursed again and again the dream.

Kummâ is a man, and he is a fugitive. He is a fugitive. In his dream he is ...ing ..., his dwelling. I saw .
I saw Namtar, the vizier of the earth, the one who makes decisions, and he sat down in his presence. He slew his head in his left hand, he slew his right hand in the ... of the enemy.
Namtartu, the woman whose head is covered in a kuribu-silver, the hand and feet of the man, Shamash, whose head is covered with a snake's horn, the hands and feet of the men .
The evil bull colossus, the hand of the men, the scepter, the foot, the horn of the eagle, the foot of the left foot of the scepter, the scepter of the lion, the head of the lion, the four hands of the feet of the men,
The head of the bird is smashed and its horns are twisted. The hands and feet of the men are Humut-tabal, the chariot fighter of the earth. The head of the Lion is four hands and feet .
The evil ghost holds the head of an ox, four hands and feet of men, the head of a lion, the hands and feet of the Lion-of-the-Mountain and the Shulak-of-the-Mountain constantly on his feet.
Namri, the head of a ram, the hands of men, Nedu, the gatekeeper of the earth, the head of a lion, the hands of men, the feet of birds, anything evil, two of his heads, one of a lion, the second head ......,
The vizieras, his three feet, two front ones, a bird, a pigeon, fearsomeness, and radiance — two gods, their names, do not know one head, the hands and feet of the Lion in its left hand .
The other one, the head of the man, is a crown. He is adorned with a tiara on his right and a tiara on his left. He stands before him from the ... of the ... and he greets 15 gods. I saw them and greeted them.
He seated one young man, his body as if it were a lion, before him, he sat down on a chair. He sat down on his right shoulder, he held a bow on his left shoulder, he sat down on his left shoulder, he sat down on his left shoulder, he sat down on his left shoulder, he sat down on his left shoulder.
When I was a young man, the hero Nergal, sat on the royal throne, ascended the royal throne, and took up his hands. He took two ...s of tin, and two heads of ..., and .
...... their ... are ..., he ...s his ..., he swings a lightning bolt, the Anunnaki, the great gods, ... the right and left .
The fearsome rage was raged in the presence of the prince, the strong one ..., he seized me in my womb and brought me before him.
I saw him and he sat down. His fierce radiance overwhelmed me. I grasped the feet of his great divinity and stood there. He looked at me and raised his head.
He made his utterances stronger and, like a fierce storm, he sat down on my throne. He was a raging fire, the sign of his divinity, which like a raging storm could cause fear and terror.
For my life, Ishum, his ally, the one who entrusted me with the cultic rites, the one who decrees the fates, the one who loves justice, and the one who says truthfully: "Do not be negligent, O king of the wide world!"
May the people of all the lands be happy, may they be happy, may they be happy, may they be happy, may they be happy, may they be happy. I made him drink pure water like water from a pure well.
Nergal said to him: "Why do you make the beloved of the queen shiver?"
By her exalted command, which cannot be changed, may the god Bibbu, the scepter of the earth, appoint you as the king of Lugalsula and make you enter the gate of the goddess Ishtar and the goddess Aya.
"Do not be afraid, do not be afraid, and do not be afraid. By the command of the god Shamash, may the ...s and the ...s be given to you and may they not smite you with their slanderous slander.
This corpse which is strewn in the earth, which the god Ashur, king of the gods, made rise from the midst of the reeds of my father, as much as there is of it.
The king who, from the rising sun to the setting sun, has subjugated all of the lands like a net and ruled the whole world.
The king whom Ashur placed before his sangu-priest to do the akitu-offerings in the pure steppe, who ... the vineyard, the image of Mount Lebanon, ... ..., ..., ..., to be everlasting.
He ordained him and the gods Yabru, Humbaba, and Naprashu, his sage, his limbs, his scepter, his offspring, his army, and his camp, he made him stand over his enemies in battle. They did not grant him the kingship of the kings.
He is your exalted ally, who knows the utterances of the word, who is assiduous towards the truth, who is attentive to the omens of the plans of the rites of the land,
As for the one who, at his command, sinned against him, sinned against him, ate ill, and sinned against him, he quickly sinned against the great brilliance of his royal majesty, until the end.
This word is indeed a curse. You should be given a scepter in your heart. He says to the upper world until I have sinned against you.
I have been sated with the radiance of the storm which was brewing against him, and the lord of cult centers has seized him and sinned against him.
And when he is to go, he will kill a wild pig that is above his sinner's. His heart will be swollen, the wind will come to his mouth and he will follow him.
He smashed the large bricks and said "I want to kill my sheep." He smashed the bricks with a hammer and hung the bricks in its gates. He set up a great fire and did not let my sheep die.
What else have you ordered? I am a warrior, the god Nergal and the goddess Ereshkigal, who stand in the service of the prince and are constantly lauding the king of Assyria.
Moreover, he, the scribe who had received favor in the past, sat on the throne of his father. With the steadfast support that the god Ea had granted him,
He made a supplication to his heart and said as follows in his own words: "Why did they not honor my treaty and slander me?"
As to what the god Nergal said about my deeds: "Go and bring me to the Palace!" — he said: "This is my apotropaic ritual."
Kummâ lay down to sleep and saw a night vision. In his dream: I was a captive in ..., the house of .... I beheld his terrifying splendour .......
I saw Namtar, the vizier of the underworld, who fashions the visceral omens; a man stood before him, while he held the hair of his head in his left hand, and wielded a dagger in his right ....
Namtartu, his wife, had the head of a cherub, her hands and feet being human. Death had the head of a dragon, his hands were human, his feet ....
The Evil Genie had a human head and hands, was crowned with a tiara and had the feet of an eagle. With his left foot he was trampling on a crocodile. Alluhappu had a lion's head, his four hands and feet were like those of human beings.
The Upholder of Evil had the head of a bird, his wings were spread out and he flew here and there; his hands and feet were human. Humut-tabal, the ferryman of the underworld, had an Anzû head, his four hands and feet ....
The Ghost had an ox's head, his four hands and feet were like those of human beings. The Evil Spirit had a lion's head, his hands and feet were those of Anzû. Shulak was a lion, standing constantly on his hind legs.
The Oath had a goat's head, his hands and feet were human. Nedu, the porter of the underworld, had a lion's head, and human hands, his feet were those of a bird. Total Evil had two heads, one was the head of a lion, the second was the head of ....
Muhra had three feet, the two front ones were those of a bird, the rear one was that of a bull. He had fearsomeness and luminous splendour. Of two gods I did not know the names — one had the head, hands, and feet of Anzû, in his left hand .......
The other had a man's head, he was crowned with a tiara, carried in his right hand a mace, in his left hand, before him, ....... In all, fifteen gods were present. I saw them and saluted them in prayer.
There was a man, his body black as pitch, his face resembling that of Anzû; he was clad in red armour. In his left hand he carried a bow, in his right hand he wielded a dagger, while he trampled on a snake with his left foot.
When I raised my eyes, I saw the valiant Nergal seated on a regal throne, apparelled with the royal tiara; with both hands he grasped two grim maces, each with two ... heads.
...... were heaped upon them. Lightning was flashing in ... his arms, the Anunnaki, the great gods, knelt to his right and left ....
The nether world was full of terror; a mighty silence lay before the crown prince .... He took me by my forelock and pulled me in front of him.
I looked at him and my bones shivered! His grimly luminescent splendour overwhelmed me, I kissed the feet of his great divinity and knelt down. Then I stood up, while he looked at me, shaking his head.
He raised his voice, crying out like a howling storm in fury against me and drawing toward me the sceptre, which is so fitting to his godhead, and which is as dreadful as a viper, to kill me.
Ishum, his adviser, the intercessor, who spares life, who loves truth, howewer, said thus: "Do not kill the man, O king of the wide underworld!
Let him go, and may the peoples of all the lands always hear your glorification!" He made the heart of the all-powerful, the almighty one who binds the evil, as calm as pure well water, and
Nergal relented, saying thus: "Why did you insult my beloved wife, the queen of the nether world?
"By her high command, which cannot be changed, may Bibbu, the hangman of the underworld, turn you over to the porter, Lugalsula, that he may let you out of the gate of Ishtar and Aya.
"Do not forget or neglect me! Then I will not pass a verdict of annihilation on you. But on the command of Shamash, may distress, acts of violence and rebellion together blow you down so that, by their oppressive clamour, sleep may not come to you.
"This corpse which lies buried in the underworld, is that of the proud shepherd who fulfilled the wishes of my father Ashur, the king of the gods;
"The king who from east and west made all the lands be looked upon as booty, who ruled everything;
"For whom Ashur, at the beginning of his office as high priest, decreed the building of the holy Akitu House of the plain, surrounded by a garden of abundance, the likeness of Mount Lebanon, ...... for ever and ever;
"Whose body Yabru, Humban and Naprushu protect, whose progeny they keep healthy, and whose army and camp they rescued so that no charioteer could come near him in battle.
"He is your father, the eminent one, experienced in matters, wide of understanding, comprehensive in the seat of ordaining fate, who scanned the plans of the mainstay of the earth.
"Whoever of you may have closed his ear to his speech, tasted the forbidden, trampled on the consecrated — the luminous splendour of his terrifying majesty will throw you down instantly, until you are but wind!
"May this word be set like a thorn in your heart! Go forth to the upper world until I think of you!", he said to me.
I woke up, and like a man who has let blood, who roams alone in a reed thicket, whom a runner catches up with, so that his heart pounds,
or like a just matured young boar, who has mounted on his mate, and whose innards inflate so that he gives out wind from his mouth and backside,
he became inflamed with lamentation and called out, "Woe, my heart!" He flew into the road like an arrow, scooped up into his mouth the dust from street and square, continually letting out terrified shriek, "Woe is me!",
He cried "Why have you decreed this for me?", and in his pain he praised before the peoples of Assyria the mighty deeds of Nergal and Ereshkigal, who had come to the aid of the prince.
But also that scribe, who previously had accepted bribes, who occupied the post of his father, with the wise understanding which Ea had given him,
he took the words of praise to heart and spoke to himself: "So that the curses of the treaty may not come near me to do me evil, and may not threaten me,
let me always carry out my actions as Nergal has ordered!" He went and repeated it to the palace, saying: "Let this be my expiation!"
