Letter from Ugubi to his mother

 

1-3. Traveller, traveller, say to my mother what Ugubi says:

4-11. Urim is the joyful city of Nanna. But I sit behind the door of the chief musician's house in Eridug, the abundant city of Enki. Longing consumes me. I don't want to die because the bread is never fresh and the beer is never fresh. Send a messenger to me at once. It is urgent.

SEpM 16: Singe à sa mère (3.3.7)

 

1 sq. (Toi) qui annonces (les nouvelles), (toi) qui annonces (les nouvelles),
parle à ma mère,
3 c'est ce que dit Singe:
4 Ur est la Ville-Luxuriance de Nanna,

5-7 mais moi, à Eridu, la Ville-Abondance d'Enki,
je suis assis derrière la porte du grand chantre et
me consume de désirs.
8 Je ne veux pas mourir!
9 sq. Le pain et la bière étant tout sauf frais,
envois(-en) moi (par) courrier!


11 C'est urgent!
