The top level of the scribal art, which work none among the kings who went before me learnt, the healing art, from the top of the head to the (toe)nail, non-canonical excerpts, the skilful teachings, the great healing art of Ninurta and Gula, as much as there is, I wrote on tablets, checked, and collated, and placed in my palace for my consultation and reading. |
