(7b) [S]în-šarra-iškun, king of Assyria, [son of Ashurbani]pal, son of Esarhaddon, [son of] Sennacherib, [had] a table [made] of musukkannu, a [dura]ble wood, [an]d c[lad (it)] with shining ešmarû-metal, [and] (then) had (it) firmly placed before her (Šala) [to prepare] pure [m]eal(s) befitting her divinity so that [her] grea[t divinity] may constantly (and) unceasingly receive (meals) [for]ever.

By your exalted command, in Ešarra, the palace of the gods, let me always safely shepherd the subjects of (the god) Aššur with abundance (and) plenty.
