So that my name should be established for distant days and never fall into oblivion, so that my praise should be { uttered } { (1 ms.:) spread } throughout the Land, and my glory should be proclaimed in the foreign lands, I, the fast runner, summoned my strength and, to prove my speed, my heart prompted me to make a return journey from Nibru to brick-built Urim as if it were only the distance of a double-hour.
