But release in well-being the people of Igingallish! Release also Purra, the captive, who has served [literally, “fed”] nine kings!
For Igingallish he served three kings; for Ebla he served six kings. Now before you, Megi, the tenth, he enters.
If you [plural] decree release, for Ebla the fate is (this): if you decree release, I shall empower your weaponry …
Your weaponry shall beat the opponent, your arable land shall flourish gloriously.
If you do not decree release, for Ebla the fate is (this): on the seventh day I shall come upon you,
And the city Ebla I shall destroy, Like an uninhabited place I shall make it,
The lower town I shall smash like a cup, the upper town I shall trample in the dump, the agora inside it, like a cup, I shall crush underfoot.
I shall remove that of my urrugi [meaning unknown], the hearth of the acropolis into the lower city,
that of the lower city into the water, that of the acropolis into the lower city I shall cast.
