Many clay-tablets end with the phrase “Nisaba be praised” (Sumerian: 𒀭𒉀𒍠𒊩 AN.NAGA.ZAG.SAL; Dnisaba za3-mi2)[1] to honor the goddess. She is considered the teacher of both mortal scribes and other divine deities. In the Babylonian period, she was replaced by the god Nabu, who took over her functions.
