(3) self-renewing (god), constant light of the gods,

(4) who guides aright the upper and the lower (world),

(14) divine Beer, the releaser of god and man, in my right (hand),

(15) I stand on basalt, the pure mountain, before you.

(16) Šamaš, he who has made an evil sign against me,

(17) has performed witchcraft, ma[gi]c (and) wicked sorcery against me:

(18) indeed he has made figurines representing me either of clay or of dough

(19) or of tallow or of wax,

(21) indeed he has fed (them) to a pig,

(22) indeed he has fed (them) to a bird,

(27d) in[deed he has handed] (them) over [t]o Girra, [...],))

(27e) [...] ... [...],))

(28) [he has sla]ndered, he has sla[nd]ered greatly (against me),

(29) [he has perform]ed (witchcraft), he has had (witchcraft) perform[ed] (against me),

(30) [he has sou]ght (or) has had (witchcraft) sou[ght] (against me),

(31) be it a warlock, be it a wit[ch],

(32) be it a man, be it a woman, be it a dead or a li[ving person]:

(33) let their sorceries turn upon th[em] like a trap,

(34) let them catch them!

(35) May god, king, magnate and nobleman frown at the[m],

(36) let them not es[cape] from the grip of god, king, magnate and nobleman!

(37) (But) let me, your servant, live and become healthy, (var.: Šamaš, let me prosper through your judgement)

(38) [Then] I will proclaim your greatness, I will prai[se] your glory!”
