Distress has been caused in your city Larsam, which you have chosen in your heart. The broad squares where days have been passed in merriment { have been reduced to } { (1 ms. has instead:) are left (?) in } silence. Your commendable troops who were assembled have been annihilated (?) like reeds from a reed fence splitting apart. Your young men have been harvested like barley at the due time; they have been picked and have been plucked like ripened fruit (?). The people have been smashed like terracotta figurines; they (?) have perished all together. An evil storm took away the little ones from the laps (?) of their mothers. The people ……; their appearance has been (?) changed. Overwhelming troops have been set loose, …… the Land …… like flour. O youthful Utu, like an enemy you stand aside from your city Larsam. |
