"(My) humble mother conceived me; in secret she brought me forth.
"She placed me in a bask-boat of rushes; with pitch she closed my door.
"She gave me over to the river, which did not (rise) over me.
"The river bore me along; to Akki, the irrigator, it carried me.
"Akki, the irrigator, ... brought me to land.
"Akki, the irrigator, reared me as his own son.
"Akki, the irrigator, appointed me his gardener.
"While I was gardener, Ishtar looked on me with love.

"Four years I ruled the kingdom."[2]
