ii 3'–4' Hence, as for Bēlet-Nippuri [in the quarter of Nippu]r, instead of the quarter of Eridu, her house is built as a substitute for Esagil.
ii 5'–8' [. . .] . . . her house Nippur, Equlēa [. . .] of Ekur, the house of Enlil, has gone out. Secondly, Equlēa: its name is "House of the lands." It is [the house of a]ll the gods. It matches up to Esagil. [There]fore, [he (a cultic functionary) built a dais of the Igigi [and] the Anunnaki inside it.
ii 8'–10' As for Nanayītu, who crossed over from Egišḫurankia, where there is an image of Asakku of ḫulamēsu-wood, when she took up [residen]ce in the quarter of TE.E: its (the ritual's) name is "Kīnay[ītu-offering like for Nippur." Urunanam, Nippur = true city.
ii 11'–17' [On] Tašrītu day 6, when a fire was lit on top of a [br]ick and it was thrown into the river, [in]stead of the Elamite or the Subarian who would (otherwise) enter Babylon and destroy the [ci]ty, its brick is burnt with fire and hurled into the water. He (a cultic functionary) performed an [apo]tropaic ritual against destruction. "Nippur, which is destroyed and hurled into the water," is said with reference to (this). The ḫašḫūru-fruitwood and olive-wood were put on top of the brick. As for the brick that is made as a substitute for ravaging the city, it is said regarding (this).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ii 18'–24' On Tašrītu day 8, when the throne of Marduk's vigil and the Daughters of Esagil went to Dilbat and Borsippa, (and) did not enter Babylon until day 13, instead of the journey that Bēl would (otherwise) make to the land of Elam [or] the land of Subartu, the throne goes away. Tašmētu's words that she speaks in his (Marduk's) presence are instead of the enemy, as in when at the command of the king of the land of Elam Bēl would (otherwise) go to the land of Elam. Hence through Tašmētu's words [. . .]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
iii 6'–13' In Ṭebētu, when he (a cultic functionary) performed these ritual procedures, because [. . .], they advanced against Marduk, they assembled in the region of Ṭebētu. [. . . and] Qingu. Correspondingly, fathers (abbī) = Ṭebētu (itiab) = sea (ab.ba, tâmtu), Tiāmat. In the region of the Goat-Fish constellation (Capricorn), Tiāmat of the army, when she [st]ood ready for the war, made war. Tiāmat and Qingu become one, and she divides. They become visible together. Therefore, the She-Goat constellation, which became visible with the Scorpion constellation, is the Goat-Fish constellation. The goat (kizzu) = the She-Goat constellation (enzu, múlùz); its name is "Stat of witchcraft" (mul uš11.zu, kakkab kišpī).
iii 13'–19' Rites concerning Tiāmat are observed. Gizzānītu and Buššānītu, which is said with regard to the stars, is said with reference to the She-Goat constellation and the Corpse star/constellation regarding the Goat-Fish constellation. They are Tiāmat and Qingu. Correspondingly, Gizzānītu – its name is "Goat-like female (kizzānītu)," with reference to the Goat-Fish constellation, a goat (kizzu). Correspondingly, as for Buššānītu – its name is "Hye[na-like female] (bu[ṣṣānītu])"; it is said with reference to the Hyena star/constellation. Hyena star/constellation = Corpse star/constellation. Correspondingly, as for Tiāmat, [her name is "Female twin (tuʾāmtu)."] She has two faces. She is male and female.
iii 19'–24' Hence, the omens [of the Scorpion constellation] are (about) the pla[nn]ing of Ninlil and Ereškigal. They (Ninlil and Ereškigal) [are present] in refe[rence to the rites concerning Tiāmat]. Bull (gu4, alpu) and scorpion (gír.tab, zuqaqīpu) are one: gìr = scorpion, correspondingly, p[irig] (G[ÌR]) meaning ["lion" (lû), ditto meaning "bull."] Therefore, in Ṭebētu, in the region of A[sakku, the She-Goat constellation (is) in the region of the Corpse star/constellation]. She (Tiāmat) [stood in] a crown of splendor and the [L]eopard star (Mars) became [stationary] inside [the Goat-Fish constellation . . .]
