[…] I will bring a bow […]
[…] arrows. And lo, on the seventh
day, then Danel, the man
of healing, then the hero, the devotee of Hrnm,
rises and sits at the entrance of the gate, beneath
the nobles who are on the threshing floor. He judges
the case of the widow, he decides the cause of the orphan.
When he lifts his eyes, he sees: at a thousand
fields, ten thousand acres, the coming of Kothar;
he looks, and he sees the striding of Hasis.
He brings a bow; look, […]
[…] arrows. Then Danel,
the man of healing, then the hero, the devotee
of Hrnm, calls aloud to his wife:
“Listen, lady Danatay, prepare
a lamb from the flock for the appetite of Kothar-
wa-Hasis, for the hunger of Hayyin, skilled
of hand. Feed, give drink to
the gods; serve and honor them, the lord
of Hikpat, the god of all of it.” She hears,
lady Danatay; she prepares a lamb
from the flock for the appetite of Kothar-wa-Hasis,
for the hunger of Hayyin, skilled
of hand. Afterward Kothar-
wa-Hasis arrives; into Danel's hand he gives
the bow, on his knees he places
the arrows. Then lady Danatay
feeds, gives drink to the gods,
serves and honors them, the lord of
Hikpat, the god of all of it. Kothar departs
to his tent, Hayyin departs to his
dwelling. Then Danel, the man
of healing, then the hero, the devotee
of Hrnm, […] the bow […]
[…] over Aqhat […]
“The choicest of your hunt, my son, […]
the choicest of your hunt, look, the [choicest]
of game in his palace […]
