Nippur had not been built, E-kur (the temple of Nippur) had not been constructed.
Erech had not been built, E-Ana (the temple of Erech) had not been constructed.
The deep had not been created, Eridu had not been constructed.
The glorious temple, the temple of the gods, its seat had not been made.

on that day Eridu was built, E-Sagila was constructed,
E-Sagila where the god Lugal-du-azaga dwells within the deep.
