“Earth, earth! Town, town!
O earth, hear: and town, understand!
Surippakite, son of Umbara-Tutu,
Destroy the house, build a ship,
Leave what thou hast (?), see to thy life.
Destroy the hostile and save life,
Take up the seed of life, all of it, into the midst of the ship.
The ship which thou shalt make, even thou,
Let its size be measured,
Let it agree (as to) its height and its length;
