Complaints of The Anunnaki Gods of Backbiting Lamenting And Grumbling.

Sacred Formulas, tiny ME's the secrets of life and death possessing they shaped,  The mysteries of living and dying of Earth's creatures they to unravel sought.  With some living creatures Enki was especially enamored; They lived among the tall trees, their front legs  as hands they were using. In the tall grasses of the steppes odd creatures were seen; erect they seemed to be walking.

Absorb was Enki in those studies; what was among the Anunnaki brewing he noticed not.  First to notice trouble was Ninurta: A lessening of gold ores at Bad-Tibira he obserd. By Enlil was Ninurta to the Abzu dispatched, what was ongoing to discover.

By Ennugi, the Chief Officer, to the excavations he was accompanied, Complaints of the Anunnaki he with his own ears heard;   The were backbiting and lamenting, in the excavations they were grumbling; Unbearable is the toil! to Ninurta they were saying.  Ninurta this to his uncle Enki reported. Let us Enlil summon!  Enki said.
