…… riches, or bronze and silver vessels. May the creatures of his Land reach out for what is left over and not distributed. Famine …….

Nanna, the king of Urim, shall clamp those who look upon the balaĝ and the sim, and who touch or look at …… bread. Their lives …… death ……. (5 lines unclear or missing)…… gold ……. May a scoundrel be judge over the population of the city, and be his superior.
