The evil demon who was in their midst called out to { Lugal-ki-suna } { (2 mss. have instead:) Ninĝišzida }: "{ Lugal-ki-suna } { (1 ms. has instead:) Lugal-ki-bura }, look at your sister!" Having looked at his sister, { Lugal-ki-suna } { (1 ms. has instead:) Lugal-ki-bura } said to her: "He sails with me, he sails with me. Why should you sail { (1 ms. adds:) to the underworld }? Lady, the demon sails with me. Why should you sail { (1 ms. adds:) to the underworld }? The thresher sails with me. Why should you sail { (1 ms. adds:) to the underworld }? The man who has bound my hands sails with me. Why should you sail? The man who has tied my arms sails with me. Why should you sail?"
