Preview of English translation:
8. With them they proceed towards that (southwestern) quarter, for that is Nirriti’s quarter: he thus places Nirriti (corruption) in Nirriti’s quarter. And anywhere where there is a self-produced hollow or cleft in the ground, he lays down those (bricks); for on whatever part of this (earth) there is a cleaving, or in whatever part of it plants are not produced, verily that part of it Nirriti seizes upon: he thus places corruption in a (part) of the earth set aside for Nirriti. Having put them in their places in a direction away from himself, he lays them down.
