At four hundred miles they stopped to eat,
at a thousand miles they pitched their camp.
they had traveled for just three days and nights,
a six weeks’ journey for ordinary men.
when the sun was setting, they dug a well,
they filled their waterskins with fresh water,
gilgamesh climbed to the mountaintop,
he poured out flour as an offering and said,
"mountain, bring me a favorable dream.”
