Incantation: O resplendent god, [first]born of Anu.

Palace of Ashurbanipal, king of the world, king of the land of Ashur,

who trusts in Ashur and Ninlil,

to whom Nabu and Tashmetu gave wide understanding,

(who) has achieved enlightened eyes with regard to the highest level of the scribal art,

which art none of the kings who came before me had learned,

the wisdom of Nabu, cuneiform signs, as many as there a[re].

I wrote, collated, (and) check[ed] (the present text) on tablets.

[I deposited] (it) in my palace for my reading (and) studying.

The one who trusts in you will not be put to shame, O king of the gods, As[hur].

Whoever carries (this tablet) off or write[s] his name alongside my name,

may Ashur and Ninlil overthrow [him] in fierce rage.

May his name (and) his seed disapp[ear] from the land.
