1 and she was consulting it internally.

2 Second, there was a warrior: 3 he flexed his arm; a tablet of lapis lazuli he held in his hand,⁠a 4 and for the temple a plan he made. 5 Before me a holy carrying-basket was placed; 6 a holy brick-mold was set in order, 7 and the brick of destiny was placed for me in the mold. 8 In a fine sacred vessel standing before me, 9 bird-men passed the time pouring water ceaselessly; 10 and a donkey stallion at the right hand of my lord kept pawing the ground for me.”

Nanshe’s Interpretation of the Dream

11 To the ruler his mother Nanshe answered: 12 “My shepherd, your dream I will interpret for you:⁠b 13 As for the man whose stature was like heaven and whose stature was like earth, 14 who as to his head was a god, at whose side 15 was the storm-bird, at whose feet was the hurricane, 16 and at whose right and left a lion lay couched— 17 he is surely my brother Ningirsu! 18 He has commanded you to build his shrine Eninnu.

19 The daylight that rose for you over the horizon 20 is your personal god Ningishzida: like the sun he rises for you over the horizon. 21 The maiden who wore the sheaves of her hair like a crown on her head, 22 who held a sacred stylus of refined silver in her hand, 23 who had set down the tablet of the favorable stars, 24 and who was consulting it internally— 25 she is surely my sister Nisaba!
