LIII

Anu and Vul, the great gods, my Lords, let them consign his name to

perdition; let them curse him with an irrevocable curse; let them cause

his sovereignty to perish; let them pluck out the stability of the throne

of his empire; let not offspring survive him in the kingdom;[1] let his

servants be broken; let his troops be defeated; let him fly vanquished

before his enemies. May Vul in his fury tear up the produce of his land.

May a scarcity of food and of the necessaries of life afflict his country.

For one day may he not be called happy. May his name and his race perish

in the land.

In the month of _Kuzallu_[2] on the 29th day, in the High-Priesthood of

_Ina-iliya-hallik,_ (entitled) _Rabbi-turi._
