The jug reads in Druid Akkadian:

The emotional-affects of Su are being revealed and the emotional-affects for the life-powers are frustrating the pasture's revelations (of fate). Nourish considerations to pasture the revelations. Monitoring will result in the fate of astrological-magic which will spew-forth those emanations. Cannot lunar-energy be pastured? The pasture is lacking ....

Comment: This text is pushing the use of emotion magic to overcome fate. The "pasture" is an epithet for the starry night sky. "Considerations" are focused emotions of emotion magic. The wine was probably used to loosen up emotions.
