TRANSLATION


Gilgamish arose interpreting dreams,
addressing his mother.
"My mother! during my night
I, having become lusty, wandered about
in the midst of omens.
And there came out stars in the heavens,
Like a . . . of heaven he fell upon me.
I bore him but he was too heavy for me.
He bore a net but I was not able to bear it.
I summoned the land to assemble unto him,
that heroes might kiss his feet.
He stood up before me [55]
and they stood over against me.
I lifted him and carried him away unto thee. "
The mother of Gilgamish she that knows all things,
said unto Gilgamish:--
"Truly oh Gilgamish he is
born [56] in the fields like thee.
The mountains have reared him.
Thou beholdest him and art distracted(? )
Heroes kiss _his_ feet.
Thou shalt spare him. . . .
Thou shalt lead him to me. "
Again he dreamed and saw another dream
and reported it unto his mother.
"My mother, I have seen another
[dream. I beheld] my likeness in the street.
In Erech of the wide spaces [57]
he hurled the axe,
and they assembled about him.
Another axe seemed his visage.
I saw him and was astounded.
I loved him as a woman,
falling upon him in embrace.
I took him and made him
my brother.
