§2
30 -- “Šamaš, you (are) the Lord of Judgement and of Law,
31 -- you are exceeding the intelligence of the Malkū,4 the great Malkū.
32 -- You bring the judgements of the Upper World to the Lower
33 -- (and) those of the Lower World to the Upper.
34 -- (About) so-and-so, son of so-and-so, whose god is so-and-so, whose goddess is so-and-so (f.),
35 -- whom fever has seized (and) he doesn’t know,
36 -- [(the spirit of) a dead (person), a living (person)] have seazed him and he doesn’t know.

39 -- [A ghost has seized him, a ghost of (his) family has seized him (and) he doesn’t know,
40 -- a bustling ghost has seized him and he doesn’t know,
41 -- a wandering ghost has seized] him (and) [he] doesn’t [know,
42 -- Namtaru, Asakku, shivers, exhaustion] have seized him [(and) he doesn’t know

The restoration follows CTH 811.A Rs. IV 2ff. (and CTH 811.B Vs. III 14ff.), s. also Meier (1939: 200-202); the number of lines does not match up, however, at this point the āšipu definitely made a list of evils that had hit the patient. Bácskay (2018: 165) restores CTH 811.A Vs. II 1 as if it were CTH 811.A Rs. IV 1, leaves CTH 811.A Vs. II 2-3 uncertain, and starts restoring again from CTH 811.A Vs. II 4 as in CTH 811.A Rs. IV 3ff.
Uninscribed space for about two lines.

These ma-al-ki do not seem to be the ‘rulers’, as in CAD M/1 malqu p. 168, but rather the Malkū, chthonic deities of the Netherworld.
