Eridu Genesis — Sumerian flood witness

Fragment witness. ETCSL c.1.7.4 (“The Flood story”) preserves the Sumerian Eridu Genesis / Ziusudra tradition from damaged Nippur tablets. Responsible editions mark lacunae — smooth “full translations” online often fill gaps.

Compare this Sumerian witness to the Akkadian flood accounts on the flood comparison page (Atrahasis, Gilgamesh XI).
