[Ea deifies Uta-Napishtim and his Wife.]
Reading edition
198. "Then the god Ea went up into the ship,
199. He seized me by the hand and brought me forth.
200. He brought forth my wife and made her to kneel by my side.
2O1. He turned our faces towards each other, he stood between us, he blessed us [saying],
202. Formerly Uta-Napishtim was a man merely,
203. But now let Uta-Napishtiin and his wife be like unto the gods, ourselves.
204. Uta-Napishtim shall dwell afar off, at the mouth of the rivers."
