Description
Actual transcription of AO 3278. This object in this photograph is an undamaged version of the damaged AO 3278 in the Louvre database, but not AO 3149, which is quite different in content.
This is the exactly same object as AO 3278 (with exactly the same horizontal fracture lines in particular), except that the characters are perfectly clear in this one. Probably a restoration (removal of accretions) or possibly an improved copy of the original object in the Louvre database? This is not AO 3149, which is quite different in content.
English: Cone of Urukagina, king of Lagash, detailing his reforms againt abuse of "old days".
Français : Cône d'Urukagina, roi de Lagash, relatant ses réformes contre les abus des « jours anciens »
