"Ritual for Curing a Sick Man," from A. Livingstone Mystical and Mythological Explanatory Works of Assyrian and Babylonian Scholars, pp. 172-3 (trans. of BM 34035 ll.13-23).

The elements of this ritual and the Gods attributed to these elements are a fascinating insight into the mesopotamian magician's concept of ritual.
