"Ḫaštum stone, you cried out against me in the mountains. You yelled fiercely with wild battle-yells. With your yelling, you fixed a lila demon in the mountains. Young man, because of your digging, Ditch (ḫaštum) shall be your name. And now, according to the destiny of Ninurta, henceforth they shall say ḫaštum. So be it."
