Ilimilku the Scribe · a new plain-English translation from the original language
[. . .] Mightiest
[Baal] [. . .] the robe of your yoke(?) —
[. . .] your right hand — the chains(?) —
[. . .] the life of a calf —
[. . . my(?)] [so]n: I will set him in the cavern of
the gods of the underworld. And you — take
your clouds, your wind, your team(?),
your rains; with you, your seven
lads, your eight boar-warriors(?);
with you, Pidray, Daughter of Light;
with you, Tallay, Daughter of Rain. Then
set your face toward Mount
Kankaniya: lift the mountain onto your two hands,
the wooded hill onto your two palms, and go down
into the house of "freedom" — the underworld. Be counted among those
who go down into the earth, and the gods will know
that you have died.' Mightiest Baal obeyed.
He loved a heifer in the pasture-land — a cow
in the fields of the Realm-of-Death's-Shore(?). He lay
with her seventy-seven times;
she let him mou[nt] eighty-eight times;
and she [conce]ived(?) and bore him a boy(?).
. . . [Ba]al clothed him
with [his] ro[be(?) . . .] his . . . as a gift(?) —
[his] righ[t hand(?) . . .] . . . to his breast —
