(gods in blue…mixed-breed demigods in teal)
In Babylon dwells Nebuchadnezzar, [the king]. 
(faint image of King Nebuchadnezzar I) He rages like a lion (and) thun[ders] like the god Adad. Like a lion, he frigh[tens] his distinguished nobles. [His] supplications go to the god Marduk, lord of Babylon: “Have pity on me, one who is dejected and prost[rate]! Have pity on my land, which weeps and mourns! Have pity on my people, who wail and weep! O lord of Babylon, how long will you dwell in the land of the enemy? May beautiful Babylon be remembered by you! 
(Marduk’s Esagila & residence in Babylon) Turn your face back to Esagila (“House Whose Top Is High”), which you love!” The lord of Babylon listened to [the supplication(s) of] Nebuchadnezzar and [his command] comes down to him from heaven: “[… b]y (my own) mouth I spoke to you. [Instructions (promising)] good fortune, I have sent to you. [With] my [support] you are to attack the land of Amurru (Martu, Anu’s son). […] listen to [the iss]uing of your instructions! […] take me [from E]lam to Babylon! Let me, [… the lord of Ba]bylon, give Elam to you! […] above and below.” […] has seized [(…)] his gods […] […] Colophon 
[…] Akkad, written (and) collated (from) a copy (in) Babylon. […] king of the world, king of Assyria.
