Babylon , I set up the seat
of domination in the royal
palace amidst jubilation and
rejoicing.Marduk the great
god caused the big-hearted
inhabita -nts of Babylon
to...me.Isought daily to
worship him.My numero -ustroops
moved about undisturbed in
the midst of babylon. I did
not alow any to terrorise the
land of/sumer/and Akkad. I
