I entered the E-kic-nu-jal like a mountain kid hurrying to its habitation, when Utu spreads broad daylight over the countryside. I filled with abundance the temple of Suen, a cow-pen which yields plenty of fat. I had oxen slaughtered there; I had sheep { offered there lavishly } { (some mss.:) butchered there }. I had cem and ala drums resound there { and caused tigi drums play there sweetly. } { (1 ms. has instead the line:) I …… the balaj player (?). } I, Culgi, who makes everything abundant, presented food-offerings there and, like a lion, spreading fearsomeness from (?) the royal offering-place, I bent down (?) and bathed in flowing water; I knelt down and feasted in the Egal-mah of Ninegala.
