“Nibru, the city where the divine powers are presented to the gods.”

“August Nibru! No deity excels like your lord and lady!
They are powerful princes; they are brilliantly revealed deities.
No deity excels like Enlil or Ninlil!
They are powerful princes; they are lords who can decide destinies.
In your midst they have given divine powers to king Enki.
Nibru, your holy songs are exceptionally precious, surpassing all praise!
I, Icme-Dagan, have placed them in everyone's mouths for all time.”
