1. a#-na# {d}taš-me#-[tu₄ ...]
#tr.en: To Tašme[tu . . .],
#note: Van Buylaere 2010e indicates that collation has shown the partial presence of a-na at the beginning of the line. Jiménez (eBL) suggests we read ši#-ma# instead. Since this is the very first line and, indeed, first word of the prayer, I do not expect an imperatival invocation. If a-na is correct, the present prayer may have been a scribe's votive tablet, placed to honor the goddess.

2. šur-bu-ti a-ša₂-rit#-[ti ...]
#tr.en: O most exalted one, the foremo[st . . .],

3. an-gal-la-tu₄ ra#-[...]
#tr.en: Wise one, . . . [. . .],

4. ga-ma-li-tu₄ mut-ta-la-tu₄# [...]
#tr.en: Ever merciful, noble one [...],
#note: I understand the first word as gammālītu, which is not booked in the lexica but follows a common pattern of adjectives designating a habit or custom. See GAG §56o, form no. 35.

5. ša#-qu#-tu le-ʾ-it DINGIR-MEŠ [...]
#tr.en: O most high, capable one among the gods, [. . .]
#note: Van Buylaere 2010e indicates that collation has shown the partial presence of ŠA at the beginning of the line.

6. [...]-ma? ta-na-da-ti-ki#? [...]
#tr.en: [. . .] . . . your renown [. . .]

7. re#?-ʾ-u₂ KUR [(x)] bu# [...]
#tr.en: [You (some verb)] the shepherd of the land [. . .]
#note: Van Buylaere 2010e reads: x Aʾ u₂-šat-⸢bu⸣, "They will raise."

8. [...] x# DINGIR{+ti} reme₂-ni#-[ti ...]
#tr.en: [. . .] mercif[ul] goddess [. . .]
#note: I owe this reading to Jiménez (eBL).

9. [...] x# BA# x# [...]
#tr.en: [. . .] . . . [. . .]
