I do not know what the inscription says (if anything), but the drying cracks in the glue-and-slurry encrustation give it away more than anything. If this has been in private collections since the 1970s. it shows that there are not a few totally gullible people out there buying antiquities from folk such as this. No papers - Caveat emptor.

I wouldn't worry; it's total gibberish. Whoever created the fake didn't have a clue how to write real cuneiform but just cobbled a few characters together in a random mix of meaningless nonsense and pure fantasy.
What is truly "STUNNING" is that anyone would actually buy such rubbish without knowing anything about cuneiform tablets and, as you say, without any proper indication of its licit provenance if it was real.
