"O Nisaba, good woman, fair woman, woman born { in the mountains } { (1 ms. has instead:) by the mountains }! Nisaba, may you be the butter in the cattle-pen, may you be the cream in the sheepfold, may you be keeper of the seal in the treasury, may you be a good steward in the palace, may you be a heaper up of grain among the grain piles and in the grain stores!"
