He who extends his staff of office, the one respected within the abzu, the lord who has no opposition in the terraced tower (?) of Nanše's house, the king, Lord Ḫendursaĝa, promulgates the decrees of Nanše's house. They are heavy smoke settling on the ground; the commands of the house are thick clouds covering the sky as if they were joined together with the needle of matrimony, yet the king, Lord Ḫendursaĝa, tears them apart. He can discriminate between the just and the wicked, and he can bring justice to the orphan as well as to the widow.
