(gods in blue …mixed-breed demigods in teal…)

 

              (Gudea, giant mixed-breed son to goddess Ninsun)

          I had debts remitted and “washed all hands.”

For seven days no grain was ground.

The slave-woman was allowed to be equal to her mistress,

the slave was allowed to walk side by side with his master.

In my city the one unclean to someone was permitted to sleep outside.

I had anything disharmonious turned right back to where it belongs.

 

I paid attention to the justice ordained by Nanse

(Enki & Ninhursag‘s daughter, ½ sister to Ninurta) and Ningirsu (Ninurta);

I did not expose the orphan to the wealthy person

nor did I expose the widow to the influential one.

In a house having no male child I let the daughter become its heir.
