Text
Enūma Eliš 1.21-28:
The divine brothers gathered together, they disturbed Tiamat as they moved about in their stir, roiling the vitals of Tiamat, by their uproar distressing the interior of Andurunna. Apsu could not diminish their clamour, and Tiamat was silent before them. Their actions were noisome to her, their behaviour was offensive, (but) she was indulgent.
