{ (The able-bodied men acclaim Gilgameš:) "You watch over Unug, the handiwork of the gods, the great rampart, the rampart which An founded, the majestic residence which An established. You are its king and warrior, an exuberant person, a prince beloved of An." (Gilgameš addresses Aga:) "Before Utu, your former kindness is hereby repaid to you." } { (the other ms. has instead:) "I watch over Unug, the handiwork of the gods, its great rampart, a cloudbank resting on the earth, its majestic residence which An established. The city will repay the kindness shown to me. Before Utu, your former kindness is hereby repaid to you." } He set Aga free to go to Kiš.
