80 Incantation of the house of light Oh Samnas lord of heaven and
earth,
Establisher of right and justice, unbribable inquisitor,
Robed (2) in -splendour, enlightening the heaven and earth spirits,
Bestower of light upon the palefaced race of mnen,
Lord of heaven and earth, I seek thee, to thee I turn.
35 Thy girdle cord I lay hold of as of the -girdle cord of the robe of
my god and goddess.
Since to render judgment, to make decision,
To bring peace is with thee;
Since thou knowest to spare, to be mnerciful, to rescue;
Daily, I sonic one, the son of his god,
40 Whose god is so and so, whose goddess is so and so,
i. Cf. GRAY, svama& Texts no 1 col. 1-37.
2. Written with the sign for 600, the usual writing for the Anunnaki.
