Holy Inana answered the demons: "This is my minister of fair words, my escort of trustworthy words. She did not forget my instructions. She did not neglect the orders I gave her. She made a lament for me on the ruin mounds. She beat the drum for me in the sanctuaries. She made the rounds of the gods' houses for me. She lacerated her eyes for me, lacerated her nose for me. { (1 ms. adds 1 line:) She lacerated her ears for me in public. } In private, she lacerated her buttocks for me. Like a pauper, she clothed herself in a single garment."
