"[T]he queen of heaven and earth, the provider of food, the stewardess of Enlil, the sweet breast satisfying all lands, the bringer of abundance, who can diagnose the intentions of the virulent ' demon and who checks people's bones; who examines the sinews of life and the sinews of death, comforting those joints; who knows every sick spot where there is affliction, torment or distress -- the kindly physician, the exorcist to the sick, who looks after the hearts of humans."

"May Nintinuga look after me during my life, and when I die may she provide me with clear water in the nether world."

"I prostrate myself for the sake of Gula, my lady, but in my own eyes I don't have a place to stand."
