Text Appearing Before Image:
F THE REBEL HOST. And the gods, her helpers, who marched by her side, Trembled, and were afraid, and turned back. They took to flight to save their lives; In an enclosure they were caught, they were not able to escape. He took them captive, he broke their weapons ; In the net they were caught and in the snare they sat down.

He divided the flesh of the body, having devised a cunning plan. He split her up like a flat fish into two halves.u One half of her he set in place as a covering for the heavens. He fixed a bolt, he stationed watchmen, And bade them not to let her waters come forth. He passed through the heavens, he surveyed the regions (thereof),Over against the Deep he set the dwelling of Nudimmud. And
