Reverse [0:9] r 1010–r 1818[whom Aššur nominat]es (for kingship), do good and show fav[our to them and their seed]. They are [friends and favourites of the king the]ir [lord. And if one of them has s]inned [against the king his lord, or] lifte[d his hand against g]od, do not go [on the word of a ho]stile [informer], [but investigate, and establish whether] that statement is true. Do not act [negligen]tly [against the seal], but impose [punish]ment upon him [in accordance with his guilt].
Reverse [9:13] r 1919–r 2222[When NN, the] chamberlain, [goes to his f]at[e in my palace wi]th a go[od] repute, [they shall b]ur[y him where he dictates, and he shall lie where it was his wish].
