| | Marriage of Martu |
 | | Indeed, the Martus have just started to learn how to share food rations according to the number of members of a family (who hung in nets, to the horror of the civilised people of Inab, the city), and only poor Martu was single. |
 | | Martu, nevertheless, cannot find one fine lady among his people, and in a day of feast, he goes down to the neighboring city of Inab, and there he met the daughter of the city god, a girl called Adjar-kidug, and both fell in love with each other. |
 | | He gratified the slave-girls of Inab with silver jugs" Yet, no decision had been made, and Martu was still single, longing for Adjar, who at this time longed for him as well. |
