Note 6 — The Princes who Learnt the Sciences
H. (Henry) Parker translation
Afterwards they put the three fishes in the water. Two went down; one remained over. Taking that fish, the seven Princes came to the city. Having come, and given it into the hand of the Queen, they said, “Our father the King gave us three Ḷūlḷū.6 When we were bringing them younger brother said to us, ‘Let us place the three Ḷūllu in the water to look if they go down.’ Afterwards we placed them [in it]. Then two Ḷūllu went down; this Ḷūlā remained over. Having cooked this one for our father the King, cook for us and give us a packet of rice,” they said. The Queen having cooked and placed [ready] the Lūlā for the King, cooked a packet of rice for the seven Princes, and gave it.
