| And before Utu on that very day, so it was! On its canal bank tow-paths, the grass grew long. On its highways laid for waggons, the grass of mourning grew. Moreover, on its tow-paths built up with canal sediment, …… wild rams (?) and alert snakes of the mountains allowed no one to pass. On its plains, where fine grass grew, now the reeds of lamentation grew. Agade's flowing fresh water flowed as brackish water. When someone decided," I will dwell in that city!", he could not enjoy the pleasures of a dwelling place. When someone decided," I will rest in Agade!", he could not enjoy the pleasures of a resting place!
