| surface a 1 | Samsu-iluna, |
| surface a 2 | the mighty king, |
| surface a 3 | king of Babylon, |
| surface a 4 | king of Kiš, |
| surface a 5 | king who makes the four world quarters |
| surface a 6 | of one mind, |
| surface a 7 | the king who, at the order |
| surface a 8 | of An and Enlil, |
| surface a 9 | all those who hated him |
| surface a 10 | a smashing |
| surface a 11 | delivered, |
| surface a 12 | the shepherd for whom Inanna |
| surface a 13 | her favorable omen |
| surface a 14 | and assistance |
| surface a 15 | performed, |
| surface a 16 | the man who of those who turned away from him in their ... |
| surface a 17 | bound their hands, |
| surface a 18 | one who evil-doers |
| surface a 19 | made disappear from the country, |
| surface a 20 | who a shining light among the numerous people |
| surface a 21 | made come forth, |
| surface a 22 | foremost heir |
| surface a 23 | of Hammurapi |
| surface a 24 | the ruler who broadened the country, |
| surface a 25 | the king who the land |
| surface a 26 | of Idamaraz |
| surface a 27 | from the border of Gutium |
| surface a 28 | to the border of Elam |
| surface a 29 | with his mighty weapon |
| surface a 30 | did completely subjugate, |
| surface a 31 | and the wide-spread people of the land |
| surface a 32 | of Idamaraz |
| surface a 33 | did conquer, |
| surface a 34 | who all of the various fortresses |
| surface a 35 | of the land of Warûm |
| surface a 36 | which had acted hostile to him |
| surface a 37 | did strike with pickaxes, |
| surface a 38 | and who his victories |
| surface a 39 | did so achieve |
| surface a 40 | and his force of arms |
| surface a 41 | did make brilliantly apparent - |
| surface a 42 | When two months had passed, |
| surface a 43 | the people of the land of Idamaraz |
| surface a 44 | which he had treated as booty, |
| surface a 45 | and the troops of Ešnunna |
| surface a 46 | as many as he had taken as captives, |
| surface a 47 | having set them free |
| surface a 48 | and a life-giving hand |
| surface a 49 | having put out to them, |
| surface a 50 | the various fortresses of the country |
| surface a 51 | of Warum |
| surface a 52 | which he had destroyed |
| surface a 53 | having rebuilt, |
| surface a 54 | and their scattered people |
| surface a 55 | having gathered up again |
| surface a 56 | and returned to their places, |
| surface a 57 | then Samsu-iluna, the mighty man, |
| surface a 58 | that the people who on the banks of the Durul |
| surface a 59 | and the Țaban rivers |
| surface a 60 | were dwelling |
| surface a 61 | could live in peaceful residences, |
| surface a 62 | that they may have no persons terrifying them, |
| surface a 63 | and that the mighty force |
| surface a 64 | of his heroism |
| surface a 65 | the whole land might praise, |
| surface a 66 | within two months time |
| surface a 67 | on the bank of the Durul canal |
| surface a 68 | Fort Samsu-iluna |
| surface a 69 | he built. |
| surface a 70 | Its ditch |
| surface a 71 | he dug there, |
| surface a 72 | heaped up its earth there, |
| surface a 73 | formed the bricks for it, |
| surface a 74 | and built that fortress there. |
| surface a 75 | Its top like a mountain range |
| surface a 76 | he raised up there. |
| surface a 77 | Because of this, |
| surface a 78 | An, Enlil, |
| surface a 79 | Marduk, |
| surface a 80 | Enki, |
| surface a 81 | and Inanna |
| surface a 82 | a mighty weapon |
| surface a 83 | that has no rival, |
| surface a 84 | and life which like (that of) Nanna |
| surface a 85 | and Utu |
| surface a 86 | is everlasting, |
| surface a 87 | as his destiny |
| surface a 88 | they determined for him |
| surface a 89 | and presented to him as a gift. |
| surface a 90 | As for this wall, |
| surface a 91 | Enlil Made |
| surface a 92 | to Samsu-iluna |
| surface a 93 | the Land of Those Who Had Become Hostile to Him |
| surface a 94 | All Bow Down To Him is its name. |
