"I am indeed the shepherd who brings peace, whose scepter is just. My benevolent shade was spread over my city, I held the people of the lands of Sumer and Akkad safely on my lap... May any wronged man who has a case come before my statue as king of justice, and may he have my inscribed stele read aloud to him.

May he hear my precious words and my stele clarify his case for him. May he examine his lawsuit and may he calm his (troubled) heart. May he say: 'Hammurabi... provided just ways for the land." Hammurabi, King of Babylon, Stele of Hammurabi from Susa. Quoted from Marc van de Mieroop, A history of the ancient Near East. Blackwell 2nd edition (Malden MA: 2007), 113. Harmansah, O.
