The raven paid exact attention to the instructions of his master. It chopped up (?) and chewed (?) the kohl for the incantation priests of Eridug with the oil and water which were to be found in a lapis-lazuli bowl and were placed in the back-room of the shrine.

A plant growing in a plot like leeks, an oddity { standing up } { (1 ms. has instead:) sticking up } like a leek stalk -- who had ever seen such a thing before?
