(3 lines fragmentary) "…… grown as tall as Gilgamec. No one shall remove its throne set up there. Your god, Lord Ninjiczida, is the grandson of An; your divine mother is Ninsumun, the bearing mother of good offspring, who loves her offspring; you are a child born by the true cow. You are a true youth made to rise over the land of Lagac by Ninjirsu; your name is established from below to above. Gudea, nobody …… what you say. You are …… a man known to An. You are a true ruler, for whom the house has determined a good fate. Gudea, son of Ninjiczida, you will enjoy a long life!"
