I don't think so. Is that in one of the unfinished tales sets?

There’s a shorter version in the unfinished tales, and I’m sure there’s a version somewhere in the multi-volume ‘history of middle earth’, but the most well formed version is in ‘the fall of numenor’ which they published a couple of years ago (and also printed really nicely if you get the hardback).
