Enki, the king of the Abzu, overpowering (?) in his majesty, speaks upwith authority: "My father the king of the universe, Brought me into existence in the universe. My ancestor, the king of all the Lands, Gathered together all the me's, placed the me's in my hand. From the Ekur, the house of Elil, I brought craftmanship to my Abzu of Eridu.I am the fecund seed,engendered by the great wild ox, I am the first born of An...Anu, I am the 'great strom' who goes forth out of the 'great below,' I am the Lord of the Land, I am the gugal of the chieftans, I am the father of the Land, I am the big brother' of the gods, I am he who brings full prosperity, I am the record keeper of heaven and earth, I am the ear and the mind (?) of all the Land, I am he who desirects justice with the king An..Anu on An's dais, I am he who decrees the fates with Enlil in the 'mountain of wisdom,'He placed in my hand the decreeing of the fates of the place where the sun rises,' I am he to whom Nintu pays due homage; I am he who as been called a good name by Ninhursag, I am the leader of the Anunnaki, I am he who has been born as the first son of the holy An...Anu."
