| Obverse Column i [23:26] i 18'18'–i 20'20' | I decorated Emašmaš (and) Egašankalama with silver (and) gold, (and) filled (them) with splendor. |
| Obverse Column i [26:34] i 21'21'–i 28'28' | The goddess Šarrat-Kidmuri, who in her anger had abandone[d] her inner sanctum (and) had [ta]ken up residence in a place not befitting her, [rele]nted during the favorable reign (lit. “my favorable reign”) that (the god) Aššur had granted m[e]. (i 25´) To complete (the emblem of) [her] exalted divinity (and) to glorify [her] precious cultic rites, she constantly kept sending me (instructions) through dream(s and) message(s) from ecstatics. |
| Obverse Column i [34:40] i 29'29'–i 34'34' | I asked the gods Šamaš (and) Adad and they answered me with a [fir]m “yes.” I [refurbish]e[d] the emblem of her great divinity (and) made her sit upon a throne-dais as (her) [ete]rnal abo[de].

He allow[ed] the temple of the god Sîn — which Shal[maneser (III), son of Ashur]nasirp[al (II)], a king of the past (who had come) befo[re me, had built] — to become old [and he entrusted (its renovation) to me]. |

[I made its] st[ructure larger] than the one in the days of the past. I bu[ilt (and) completed (it)] from its foundation(s) to its crenellations. (i 55´) [Inside it], I built Emelamana, the temple of the god Nusku, [the exalted vizier], which a king of the past (who had come) before me had built. I roof[ed them] with long beams of cedar.

| Obverse Column i [69:71] i 64'64'–i 65'65' | I took the gods Sîn (and) Nusku by the hand, made (them) enter into (their respective temples), (and) made (them) sit on (their) eternal dais(es). |
| Obverse Column i [71:78] i 66'66'–i 72'72' | I completed the sanctuaries of Assyria and the land Akkad in their entirety. I made every type of temple appurtenance there is from silver (and) gold, (and) I added (them) to those of the kings, my ancestors. (i 70´) I made the great gods who support me reside in their exalted inner sanctums. I offered sumptuous offerings before them (and) presented (them) with my gifts. I made regular offerings (and) contributions more plentiful than those of distant days. |
| Obverse Column i [78:86] i 73'73'–i 80'80' | I had statues of my royal majesty skillfully made from silver, gold, (and) shiny copper through the craft of the deities Ninagal, Kusibanda, (and) Ninkurra, (and), as constant petitioners for my life, I installed (them) in their positions before the gods who support me. From my childhood until I became an adult, I was assiduous towards the sanctuaries of the great gods. They required my priestly services (and) they (now) enjoy my giving (them) food offerings. |

Year after year, I shepherded the subjects of the god Enlil in prosperity and with justice. |
| Obverse Column i [95:107] i 90'90'–i 101'101' | The great gods, whose divinity I constantly revered, generously granted me power, virility, (and) outstanding strength. They placed lands that had not bowed down to me into my hands (and) allowed me to achieve my heart’s desire. (i 95´) I marched from the Upper Sea to the Lower Sea, where the kings, my ancestors, had regularly traveled. At a distance of one month (and) twenty days (journey) into the midst of the sea and on dry land, I added [terr]itory to that of the kings, my ancestors, and ruled (it). I made [the people] living in those lands bow down to my yoke (and) imposed annual [tribute pay]ment upon them. (i 100´) [By the command of (the god) A]ššur (and) the goddess Ištar, the kings who sit upon (royal) daises kiss my feet (and) [great rulers from (both)] east and west are anxious for me to be their ally. |

Taharq[a, the king of Egypt and Kush, heard about the advance of my expeditionary force] (while he was) inside the city Me[mphis, and] m[ustered his battle troops] before me to wage [armed battle (and) war]. (ii 35´) With the support of the gods A[ššur, Bēl (Marduk), and Nabû], the great gods, [my] lo[rds who march at my side, I brought about the defeat of his troops in a] widesp[read] pitched [battle]. |

| Obverse Column ii [53:55] ii 17''17''–ii 18''18'' | With mu[ch] plunder (and) [substantial booty, I turned around (lit. “I turned the front of my yoke”) and] returned safely to [Assyria]. |
| Obverse Column ii [55:71] ii 19''19''–ii 34''34'' | Afterwards, Necho, Šarru-lū-dāri, (and) Pa-[qruru] sinned against my treaty (and) did not honor the oath(s sworn) by [the great gods]. They forgot my kindness and their heart(s) plotted e[vil (deeds)]. They spoke word(s) of treachery and decided (among) themselves on a profitless decision, saying: (ii 25´´) “If they remove Taharqa from Egypt, how then can we (ourselves) stay?” To establish treaties and peace, they dispatched their mounted messenger(s) to Taharqa, the king of Kush, saying: “Let peace be established between us so that (ii 30´´) we can come to a mutual agreement. (Let) us divide the land among ourselves so that no other lord comes between us.” With regard to troops of Assyria, the might of my lordly majesty, they constantly sought out evil plan(s) to cut (their) throat(s). |
| Obverse Column ii [71:80] ii 35''35''–ii 43''43'' | Eunuchs of mine heard these words; they seized their mounted messenger(s) along with their messages and (then) they saw their deceitful acts. They seized Necho (and) Šarru-lū-dāri and clamped (their) hands and feet in iron fetters and iron handcuffs. (ii 40´´) The oath (sworn) by (the god) Aššur, the king of the gods, defeated them and my kindness, which I had done for them as a favor, called to account those who had sinned against the treaty (sworn) by the great gods. |
| Obverse Column ii [80:86] ii 44''44''–ii 49''49'' | Moreover, (as for) the people of the cities Sais, Mendes, (and) Pelusium, as many as had sided with them and plotted evil (deeds), young and old, they (my troops) cut (them) do[wn] with the sword. They did not spare a single person amo[ng (them)]. They hung their corpses on po[les], flayed them, (and) draped the [city] w[all(s with their skins)]. |
| Obverse Column ii [86:90] ii 50''50''–ii 53''53'' | They bro[ught] Necho (and) Šarru-lū-dāri ali[ve] to Nineveh, before me. (As for) Šarru-lū-dāri, who had not honored my kindness (and) sinn[ed against ...], he was thro[wn] into confinement, a place of eternal detainment, [...]. |
| Obverse Column ii [90:97] ii 54''54''–ii 60''60'' | I had mercy on Necho and I l[et him live]. I made (his) treaty more stringent than the previous one and [I established (it)] with him. I cloth[ed him] in garment(s) with multi-colored trim, plac[ed on him] a golden hoe, an insignia of his kingship, (and) fastened gold bracelets around [his] wri[sts]. On a belt-dagger with g[old] mountings, I wrote out my name and [I gave (it) to him]. |

[With fu]ll [hand(s)], I returned safely [to Nineveh], my capital city. |
| Obverse Column iii [15:28] iii 16'16'–iii 28'28' | [On] my [third ca]mpaign, I marched against Baʾalu, the king of the land Tyre [who resides in the mid]dle of the sea. [Because] he did not honor my ro[y]al [com]mand(s and) [did not o]bey [the pron]ouncement(s) from my lip(s), (iii 20´) I set up [outpos]ts [again]st him. [To prevent his] people [from leav]ing, [I rei]nforced (its) garrison. [By sea and] dry la[nd, I] took control of (all of) his [rout]es (and thus) cut off (all) access to him. (iii 25´) I made [water and foo]d for the preservation of their lives scarce [for the]ir [mouths]. I confined them [in a harsh imprisonment from which] there was no escape. I constricted (and) cut short [thei]r [lives]. I made them (the people of Tyre) bow down [to] my [yoke]. |

| Obverse Column iii [37:43] iii 38'38'–iii 43'43' | [I dismantled the outposts that I had constructed against Baʾalu, the king of the land Tyre. By sea and dry land, I] opened (all of) his [ro]utes, [as many as I had seized. I] received from him [his substantial payment. I turned around (lit. “I turned the front of my yoke”) and returned safely to Nineveh], my [capit]al [city]. |

On the (very) day [he saw] thi[s] dream, he sent his mounted messenger to inquire about [my well-being]. |
| Obverse Column iii [69:76] iii 24''24''–iii 30''30'' | (As for) the Cimmerians, a [dangerous] enemy who had never feared [my ancestors], and, with regard to me, had not grasped the fee[t of my royal majesty], with the support of (the god) Aššur (and) the goddess Ištar, [my] lo[rds], he (Gyges) clamped (them) in manacles, handcuffs, (and) ne[ck-stocks] and sent (them) be[fore me], together with [his substantial] audience gift(s). |
