Her name is proclaimed throughout all the lands,

Esarhaddon, king of lands, fear not.

To her it is good to pray.

XII. ORACLES OF ISHTAR OF ARBELA

(B.C. 680-668)

Esarhaddon, king of lands, fear not.

The lord, the spirit who speaks to thee

I speak to him, I have not kept it back.

Thine enemies, like the floods of Sivan

Before thee flee perpetually.
