The mashmashu-priests will follow him and the elders, the mashmashu-priests, the temple-enterers and the brewers who are wearing the bow will bless you. Anu, great lord of heaven and earth, greets you.

After the ritual kirabi of the mashmashu-priests, the incantation 'The king has gone away'. You recite the incantation four times until the suqa-ilani.

The high priest, the exorcists, the temple enterers and the brewers who are on the bow greet Anu, the great lord of heaven and earth, and greet you.

After the festival, the mashmashu-priests will sing the incantation "The king will come to the festival" and the incantation "Agubbû-priest" until the karku-priesting of the aramu-house of the 'Anu'-boat, the way of the gods. They will sing the incantation, and the elders, the incantation-priests, the temple-enterers and the bearers of the tallu-priests will sing to Anu.

When Anu goes to the aramu of the shakku-boat, the mashmashu-priests and the temple-enterers recite the incantation "The boat is moored" and the shu'illakku-prayer to Anu. After that, the elder brother, the mashmashu-priests, the temple-enterers and the bearers of the wagon greet Anu in the same way as before.

From the upper side of the quay to the gate of the mashmashu-priests, you recite 7 times the incantation "From the king you came out" and you set down the golden doorway.

Incantation: "He holds me, and at the gate of the king the elders, the mashmashu-priests, the temple-enterers and the bearers of the bow greet Anu, like before.

After the greeting, the mashmashu-priests recite 4 times the incantation 'The king has come out', up to the street Suq-ili.

The high priest, the mashmashu-priests, the temple-enterers and the brewers, who are yoked to the carrying pole, greet Anu, saying 'Great Anu, may heaven and earth greet you'.

Should a claim arise concerning that Rihat-Ishtar and Inna, that slave, Anu-uballit will clear it and will pay the 12-fold penalty to Kidin-Anu.

Anu-uballit will bear responsibility for the clearing of claims of that servant, the shushanu, the shushanu, the sons, the royal servant, the horse trainer, and the charioteer of Rihat-Ishtar and Inna in perpetuity. Anu-uballit is responsible for the clearing of claims of that servant, and for not causing a claim of that one-twelfth of a day in one day in Anu-uballit is responsible.

Doty, L. Timothy

Anu-uballit, son of Shamash-ittannu, descendant of Ah'utu, voluntarily sold in perpetuity his slave, Rihat-Ishtar, and Inna, his female slave --- a total of two slaves whose right hands are inscribed with the name of Anu-uballit, son of Shamash-ittannu, for 1 1/2 mina of refined silver, as the complete price, to Kidin-Anu and Anu-ab-utir, sons of Nanaya-iddin, descendants of Ah'utu. Anu-uballit, son of Shamash-ittannu, received that silver --- 1 1/3 mina of refined silver, the price of those servants, Rihat-Ishtar and Inna --- from Kidin-Anu and Anu-ab-utir, sons of Nanaya-iddin; he is paid.

Should a claim arise concerning Rihat-Ishtar and Inna, those servants, Anu-uballit will clear it and will pay to Kidin-Anu and Anu-ab-utir.

Anu-uballit assumes responsibility in perpetuity that those servants, Rihat-Ishtar and Inna, are not of the status of temple-oblates, shushanû, mar-banê, royal servants, cavalry, or royal chariotry. And Anu-uballit assumes responsibility against those slaves fleeing for 100 days.
