"As Anšar had made like him | Anu, his scion, | Anu equally, in his own likeness, | He created (Ea-) Nudimmud. | Now, Nudimmud, he, | Future organizer (?) of his parents, | He was of broad intellect, wise | He is endowed with immense strength; | Much more powerful | Of his father's creator, Anšar, | He had no equal, | Compared with his brother gods. Having therefore formed a band, | These god-brothers | They disturbed Tiamat | Surrendering to the hustle and bustle (?): | Shocking | The interior of Tiamat, | They disturbed, with their entertainment, | The interior of the «Divine Abode». (I, 15-24)"
