“Gilgameš said also to him, to Pir-napištim the remote:
‘I perceive thee, O Pir-napištim,
Thy features are not changed—like me art thou,
And thou (thyself) art not changed, like me art thou.
Put an end in thine heart to the making of resistance,
(Here?) art thou placed, does that rise against thee,
(Now?) that thou remainest, and hast attained life in the assembly of the gods?’
Pir-napištim said also to him, to Gilgameš:
‘Let me tell thee, Gilgameš, the account of my preservation,
And let me tell thee, even thee, the decision of the gods.
