Column IV. 

 [An incantation, probably the continuation of Col. III.'] 



3 Whilst [in the house] 

 thou hast not settled, 



Whilst into the city 

 6 thou hast not removed, 



Food thou shalt not eat, 

 water thou shalt not drink 



9 The waters of the sea, sweet waters, 

 bitter waters, the waters of the Tigris, 

 the waters of the Euphrates, 

 12 well-water, river- water, 

 thou shalt not taste. 



To heaven departing-, though 

 15 wings thou hast not gotten ? 



In earth remaining, though 

 a seat thou hast uot made ? 



18 The man, the son of his god, 

 .... let him be pure.
