Consecration
(based on PMG IV 1596-1715- interpreting the barbarous names as being composed of Sumerian words)
I invoke you, the greatest god, eternal lord, ruler of the world,
who are over the world and under the world,
mighty ruler of the sea,
rising at dawn, shining from the East for the whole world,
setting in the West.
Come to me, thou who risest from the four winds,
for whom heaven has become the processional way.
I call upon your holy and great hidden names
which you rejoice to hear.
The Earth flourished when you shone forth,
and the plants became fruitful when you laughed,
the animals begat their young when you permitted.
Give glory and honor, favor, fortune and power to this
(item)
which I consecrate today.
I invoke you,
the greatest in Heaven
