House of princely powers, standing in mighty water -- the waters have receded from it ……. One can walk on its wide swamp. Within it grow wild thornbushes. The delightful boat Wild goat of the abzu -- the waters have receded from it; …… its sheepfold …… the wharf. They were Sirsir, the tutelary deity, and the man who rides the boat. At the prow …… was hurled down in front of them. Evildoers destroyed the house, and its rites were disturbed.
