Anonymous Sippar 3 (FAOS 05/2, AnSippar 03)
Written in modern English
Someone dedicated this statuette to a deity whose name is lost, praying for the well-being of his wife and children. A name appears at the start but the surface is too damaged to read it.
A modern paraphrase of the literal translation — same content, contemporary voice.
