This text includes a divinatory ritual where the diviner offers water and cedar to Utu, as well as a coronation ritual located within the E2-an-na. The king is endowed with the crown and the scepter, approaches the royal dais or enclosure (barag) and foregoes his childhood name and his bur-gi4-a name in favor of the name of the en-ship, a process that is overseen by the goddesses dNin-men-na and dNin-ŋedru. The symbolic royal dispersal of enemies of the army seems to occur before the break in reverse ii' 27'f. Partially edited (reverse ii 5'-26') by Sjöberg OrSuec 21 111-112: see also the discussion of select passages by Alster Proverbs of Ancient Sumer (1997) 379 (rev. i' 9'-11' as a parallel to Proverb Collection 3.16), van Dijk FS Falkenstein (1965) 237 n. 18, Jeyes Old Babylonian Extispicy (1989) 30, Michalowski JCS 28 164, Polonsky The Rise of the Sun God and the Determination of Destiny in Ancient Mesopotamia (PhD thesis, UPenn, 2002) 580 n. 1690, and PSD B 187.
