“Curuppag gave instructions to his son;
Curuppag, the son of Ubara-Tutu
gave instructions to his son Zi-ud-sura (Noah):
‘My son, let me give you instructions: you should pay attention!
Zi-ud-sura, let me speak a word to you:’…”
“A second time, Curuppag gave instructions to his son.
Curuppag**,** the son of Ubara-Tutu gave instructions to his son Zi-ud-sura:
‘My son, let me give you instructions: you should pay attention!
Zi-ud-sura, let me speak a word to you: you should pay attention!
Do not neglect my instructions!
Do not transgress the words I speak!
(1 ms. adds the line: The instructions of an old man are precious;
you should comply with them!)’…”
“These are the instructions given by Curuppag, the son of Ubara-Tutu.
Praise be to the lady who completed the great tablets, the maiden Nisaba,
that Curuppag, the son of Ubara-Tutu gave his instructions!…”
