"Lasirab, the mighty King of Guti, ...[6 colums damaged]... has made and presented this. Whoever removes this inscribed stone, and writes the mention of his name thereupon, his foundation may Guti (or, "the Gods of Gutium"), Nina and Sin tear up and exterminate his seed, and may whatsoever he undertakes not prosper"
- "La-eraab, great King of Gutiim" (π·πππ ππ π ππΎπ la-e-ra-ab da-num lugal gutiim). The name is quite damaged, and was initially read "Lasiraab".[12]
