surface a 1	Whereas, for
surface a 2	all time
surface a 3	(since) the creation
surface a 4	of humankind,
surface a 5	no king among kings
surface a 6	ever
surface a 7	Armanam
surface a 8	and
surface a 9	Ebla
surface a 10	had destroyed,
surface a 11	by the weapon(?)
surface a 12	of Nergal
surface a 13	a path
surface a 14	Naram-Sin
surface a 15	the mighty
surface a 16	did open, and
surface a 17	Armanam
surface a 18	and
surface a 19	Ebla
surface a 20	he (Nergal) gave to him.
surface a 21	Further,
surface a 22	Amanus,
surface a 23	the Mountain
surface a 24	of Cedar
surface a 25	and
surface a 26	the Sea
surface a 27	Upper
surface a 28	he bestowed upon him,
surface a 29	and
surface a 30	by the weapon
surface a 31	of Dagan,
surface a 32	the exalter
surface a 33	of his kingship,
surface a 34	Naram-Sin
surface a 35	the mighty
surface a 36	Armanum
surface a 37	and
surface a 38	Ebla
surface a 39	did defeat.
surface a 40	Further,
surface a 41	from
surface a 42	the (very) mouth
surface a 43	of the Euphrates River
surface a 44	as far as
surface a 45	the city Ulišum,
surface a 46	the people
surface a 47	ones whom
surface a 48	Dagan
surface a 49	for the first time
surface a 50	had bestowed upon him,
surface a 51	he smote, so that
surface a 52	the earth basket
surface a 53	of Ilaba
surface a 54	his god
surface a 55	they (now) bear.
surface a 56	Further
surface a 57	Amanus,
surface a 58	the Mountain
surface a 59	of Cedar,
surface a 60	he did conquer.
surface a 61	When
surface a 62	the god Dagan
surface a 63	the verdict
surface a 64	(for) Naram-Sin
surface a 65	the mighty
surface a 66	did give, and
surface a 67	Rida-Adad,
surface a 68	king
surface a 69	of Armanum
surface a 70	into his hands
surface a 71	did give, and
surface a 72	he himself (Naram-Sin)
surface a 73	in the middle
surface a 74	of his (palace) entryway
surface a 75	did capture him,
surface a 76	with diorite
surface a 77	a statue of himself
surface a 78	he created, and
surface a 79	to
surface a 80	the god Sin
surface a 81	he dedicated it.
surface a 82	Thus (says)
surface a 83	Naram-Sin
surface a 84	the mighty,
surface a 85	king
surface a 86	of the world quarters
surface a 87	the four:
surface a 88	The god Dagan
surface a 89	Armanum
surface a 90	and
surface a 91	Ebla
surface a 92	did give me, and
surface a 93	Rid-Adad,
surface a 94	king
surface a 95	of Armanum
surface a 96	I captured, and
surface a 97	at that time
surface a 98	an image of myself
surface a 99	I created, and
surface a 100	to
surface a 101	Sin
surface a 102	I presented it.
surface a 103	Let no one
surface a 104	my inscription
surface a 105	remove, (rather)
surface a 106	my statue
surface a 107	before
surface a 108	Sin
surface a 109	let it stand.
surface a 110	Further,
surface a 111	that which his god
surface a 112	shall give to him,
surface a 113	may it 'go' for him,
surface a 114	(but) the task
surface a 115	I performed(?)
surface a 116	to
surface a 118	I did ...
surface a 119	From
surface a 120	the fortification wall
surface a 121	to
surface a 122	the great wall:

surface a 131	of the hill
surface a 132	(and) 30 cubits is the height of the wall.
surface a 133	Total: 404
surface a 134	... cubits height,
surface a 135	from
surface a 136	the ground
surface a 137	to

surface a 139	The city
