| Obverse Column ii [0:9] ii' 1'1'–ii' 9'9' | He (Nabû-zēr-kitti-līšir) [fled] like a fox to the land Elam. [Because of the oath of] the great gods (which he had transgressed), the gods Aššur (and) Šamaš imposed a [grievous] punish[ment on him and] they killed him [with the sword] in the midst of the land Elam. Naʾid-Marduk, [his brother, saw the deeds that they had done to his brother in Elam]. |
