{ Now Enlil, my helper, has made the Martu rise from their mountain lands } { (1 ms. has instead:) Now Enlil has …… the Tidnum as …… from their mountain lands }. They will repel Elam and seize Išbi-Erra. To regain the Land will indeed make our might known in all the foreign lands. It is urgent! { Do not be neglectful } { (1 ms. has instead:) Do not all give up }!
