assembly | to place | young man | town | Gilgameš (DN) | to return |
In the convened assembly, his city's able-bodied men answered Gilgameš: ""Standing on duty and sitting in attendance, escorting the king's son, and forever grasping the donkey's reins -- who has that much breath?", as the saying goes. You old men should not submit to the house of Kiš! Should we young men not smite it with weapons?" |
