(1) If on the 14th day the moon and sun are seen together: reliable speech; the land will become happy; the gods will remember Akkad favorably; joy among the troops; the king will become happy; the cattle of Akkad will lie in the steppe undisturbed. (r 1) If the moon reaches the sun and follows it closely, and one horn meets the other: there will be truth in the land, the son will speak the truth with his father; the king will make his thro[ne last l]ong. (r 5) — On the 14th day their light [was seen together]. (r 6) May the king of all [lands be everlasting]! (r 7) From A[šaredu].
