The man who sat on the mountain sat on the tablet, he did not know what to eat, he did not eat meat, he did not eat meat. At the time when he had left his house, he did not leave his house, he did not leave his place. My lady, Martu, what has she done for me? His lady, Adgar-kidug, has returned to her. Martu, let me give you back! In Inab, the ulum of the Alama

Adgar-kidug's girlfriend speaks to her: "Now listen, their hands are destructive and their features are those of monkeys; he is one who eats what Nanna forbids and does not show reverence. They never stop roaming about ..., they are an abomination to the gods' dwellings. Their ideas are confused; they cause only disturbance. He is clothed in sack-leather ...; He lives in a tent, exposed to wind and rain, and cannot properly recite prayers. He lives in the mountains and ignores the places of gods;
He digs up truffles in the foothills, does not know how to bend the knee; He eats raw flesh. He has no house during his life, and when he dies he will not be carried to a burial-place. "My girlfriend, why would you marry Martu?" Adgar-kidug replies to her girlfriend: "I will marry Martu!" Inab -- ulum, alam!
