The head is a head of a serpent
From its nostrils mucus trickles…
The ears are those of a basilisk
His horns are twisted into three curls
Ea, lord of the depths…
The body is a sun fish, full of stars
The base of his feet are claws
His name is Sassu Wunnu
A sea monster. A form of Ea
Ea, lord of the depths…
The head is the head of a serpent,
From his nostrils mucus trickles,
His mouth is beslavered with water;
The ears are like those of a basilisk,
His horns are twisted into three curls,
He wears a veil in his head band,
The body is a suh-fish full of stars,
The base of his feet are claws,
The sole of his foot has no heel,
His name is Sassu-wunnu,
A sea monster, a form of Ea.
