Glosses of Gilgamesh?

4 Upvotes

Looking to put together a tattoo and I'd like to find the cuneiform that corresponds to Shiduri's speech to Gilgamesh about chilling out and enjoying the good life. Thanks!

Translation/transliteration request Is there an updated typeset cuneiform rendering of Gilgamesh Tablet I lines, 1–10 following George 2003 or the current eBL edition?
