Obverse Column i [0:7] i 1i 1–i 77	I, Ashurbanipal, the creation of (the god) Aššur and the goddess Mullissu, the senior son of the king of the House of Succession, the one whom (the god) Aššur and the god Sîn — the lord of the (lunar) crown — nominated in distant days to be king (i 5) and created in the womb of his mother for shepherding Assyria, (and the one for whom) the deities Šamaš, Adad, and Ištar declared my exercising the kingship through their firm decision(s) —
Obverse Column i [7:22] i 88–i 2222	Esarhaddon, king of Assyria, the father who had engendered me, carefully observed the word(s) of (the god) Aššur and the goddess Mullissu, the gods who supported him, (i 10) (and) who instructed him about my exercising the kingship. In the month Ayyāru (II), the month of the god Ea — the lord of humankind — on the twelfth day — an auspicious day, (the day of) the bread donation(s) to the goddess Gula — in order to perform the noble command of the deities Aššur, Mullissu, Sîn, Šamaš, Adad, (i 15) Bēl (Marduk), Nabû, Ištar of Nineveh, Šarrat-Kidmuri, Ištar of Arbela, Ninurta, Nergal, (and) Nusku, he assembled the people of Assyria — young and old — (and) of the Upper and Lower Sea(s). (i 20) In order to protect my (position as) heir designate and afterwards (my) exercising the kingship of Assyria, he made them swear to a treaty, an oath bound by the gods; he made the agreements strong.
Obverse Column i [22:30] i 2323–i 3030	In (the midst of) joyous celebration, I entered the House of Succession, a sophisticated place, the mooring place of kingship, inside of which Sennacherib — the father of the father who had begotten me — had performed (his duties) as heir designate and king, the place in whose midst Esarhaddon — the father who had engendered me — was born, grew up, exercised dominion over Assyria, led all of the rulers, expanded (his) family, (and) bonded with relatives and kin.
Obverse Column i [30:34] i 3131–i 3434	Furthermore, I, Ashurbanipal, learned inside it the wisdom of the god Nabû, all of the scribal arts. I investigated the precepts of every type of scholar there is, learned how to shoot a bow, ride a horse (and) chariot, (and) take hold of (their) reins.
Obverse Column i [34:38] i 3535–i 3838	By the command of the great gods, whose name(s) I invoked, whose praise I speak about, (and) who commanded my exercising the kingship, they entrusted me to be the provider of their sanctuaries. In my stead, they always answer my adversar(ies and) kill my foes.
Obverse Column i [38:40] i 3939–i 4040	Heroic male, beloved of (the god) Aššur and the goddess Ištar, descendant of kingship, I —
Obverse Column i [40:51] i 4141–i 5151	After the deities Aššur, Sîn, Šamaš, Adad, Bēl (Marduk), Nabû, Ištar of Nineveh, Šarrat-Kidmuri, Ištar of Arbela, Ninurta, Nergal, (and) Nusku gladly made me sit on the throne of the father who had engendered me, (i 45) the god Adad released his rains (and) the god Ea opened up his springs. Grain was five cubits high in its furrow (and) ear(s) of corn were five-sixths of a cubits long. Successful harvest(s and) an abundance of grain enabled pasture land to continually flourish, fruit orchards to be very lush with fruit, (and) cattle to successfully give birth to (their) young. During my reign, there was plenitude (and) abundance; during my years, bountiful produce was accumulated.
Obverse Column i [51:67] i 5252–i 6767	On my first campaign, I marched to Makan (Egypt) and Meluḫḫa (Ethiopia). (As for) Taharqa, the king of Egypt and Kush, whose defeat Esarhaddon — king of Assyria, the father who had engendered me — had brought about (and) (i 55b) whose land he ruled over, he, Taharqa, forgot the might of (the god) Aššur, the goddess Ištar, and the great gods, my lords, and trusted in his own strength. He marched against the kings (and) officials, whom the father who had engendered me had appointed inside Egypt, to kill (and) rob (them) and to take away Egypt (from them). (i 60b) He entered and resided in the city Memphis, a city that the father who had engendered me had conquered (and) made part of the territory of Assyria. A fast messenger came to Nineveh and reported (this) to me. My heart became enraged about these deeds and my temper turned hot. (i 65) I raised up my hands (and) made an appeal to (the god) Aššur and the Assyrian Ištar. I mustered my elite forces that (the god) Aššur and the goddess Ištar had placed in my hands (and) I made (them) take the direct road to Egypt and Kush.
Obverse Column i [67:71] i 6868–i 7171	In the course of my campaign, twenty-two kings of the seacoast, the midst of the sea, and dry land, servants who belonged to me, carried their substantial audience gift(s) before me and kissed my feet.
Obverse Column i [71:74] i 7272–i 7474	I made those kings, together with their forces (and) their boats, take the road (and) path with my troops by sea and dry land.
Obverse Column i [74:82] i 7575–i 8282	I quickly advanced to support the kings (and) officials who were in Egypt, servants who belonged to me, and I marched as far as the city Kār-Bānīte. Taharqa, the king of Egypt and Kush, heard about the advance of my expeditionary force (while he was) inside the city Memphis, and (i 80) mustered his battle troops before me to wage armed battle and war. With the support of the gods Aššur, Bēl (Marduk), (and) Nabû, the great gods, my lords who march at my side, I brought about the defeat of his troops in a widespread pitched battle.
Obverse Column i [82:89] i 8383–i 8989	Taharqa heard about the defeat of his troops while (he was) inside the city Memphis. The awe-inspiring radiance of (the god) Aššur and the goddess Ištar overwhelmed him and he went into a frenzy. (i 85) The brilliance of my royal majesty, with which the gods of heaven and netherworld had endowed me, covered him; he abandoned the city Memphis and, in order to save his (own) life, he fled inside the city Thebes. I seized that city (Memphis) (and then) made my troops enter (and) reside there.
Obverse Column i [89:115] i 9090–i 115115	(As for) Necho, king of the cities Memphis and Sais, Šarru-lū-dāri, king of the city Pelusium, Pi-šan-Ḫuru, king of the city Natho, Pa-qruru, king of the city Pišaptu, Bokennife (Bukunanniʾpi), king of the city Athribis, (i 95) Naḫkê, king of the city Heracleopolis, Puṭu-Bāšti, king of the city Tanis, Unamunu, king of the city Natho, Ḫur-ši-Ēšu, king of the city Sebennytos, Pūiama, king of the city Mendes, (i 100) Sheshonq, king of the city Busiris, Tap-naḫte, king of the city Punubu, Bokennife (Bukunanniʾpi), king of the city Aḫni, Eptimu-rṭešu, king of the city Trenuthis, Naḫti-ḫuru-ansini, king of the city Pišapdiʾa, (i 105) Bukurninip, king of the city Paḫnuti, Ṣi-ḫû, king of the city Siut, Lamintu, king of the city Hermopolis, Išpimāṭu, king of the city Thinis, (and) Monthemhet, king of the city Thebes, (i 110) those kings, governors, (and) officials whom the father who had engendered me had appointed in Egypt, who had abandoned their post(s) in the face of Taharqa’s tactical advance, (and) had gone to (lit. “filled”) the countryside, where their post(s) were, I reappointed them in their (former) positions. I reorganized Egypt and Kush, which the father who had engendered me had conquered. (i 115) I strengthened (its) guard more than previously and concluded (new) agreements (with it).
Obverse Column i [115:117] i 116116–i 117117	With much plunder (and) substantial booty, I returned safely to Nineveh.
Obverse Column i [117:127] i 118118–i 127127	Afterwards, those kings, as many as I had appointed, sinned against my treaty (and) did not honor the oath(s sworn) by the great gods. They forgot the kindness that I had done for them and (i 120) their heart(s) plotted evil (deeds). They spoke word(s) of treachery and decided (among) themselves on a profitless decision, saying: “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: (i 125) “Let peace be established between us so that 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 that I had stationed (there) to help them, they constantly sought out evil plan(s).
Obverse Column i [127:133] i 128128–i 133133	Eunuchs of mine heard these words; they seized their mounted messenger(s) along with their messages and (i 130) (then) they saw their deceitful acts. They seized those kings and clamped (their) hands and feet in iron fetters (and) iron handcuffs. 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 i [133:139] i 134134–	(As for) the people of the cities Sais, Mendes, Pelusium, and the rest of the cities, as many as had sided with them (and) plotted evil (deeds), young and old, they (my troops) cut (them) down with the sword. They did not spare a single person among (them). They hung their corpses on poles, flayed them, (and) draped the city wall(s with their skins).
Obverse Column ii [4:7] ii 55–ii 77	(As for) those twenty kings who had constantly sought out evil (deeds) against the troops of Assyria, they brought (them alive) to Nineveh, before me.
Obverse Column ii [7:16] ii 88–ii 1616	Among them, I had mercy on Necho and I let him live. I made (his) treaty more stringent than the previous one and I established (it) with him. (ii 10) I clothed him in garment(s) with multi-colored trim, placed on him a golden hoe, an insignia of his kingship, (and) fastened gold bracelets around his wrists. On an iron belt-dagger with gold mountings, I wrote out my name and I gave (it) to him. I presented him with chariots, horses, (and) mules to be his lordly transport. (ii 15) I sent with him eunuchs of mine (and) governors to help him. Where the father who had engendered me had appointed him as king, in the city Sais, I returned him to his position.
Obverse Column ii [16:19] ii 1717–ii 1919	Moreover, I appointed Nabû-šēzibanni, his son, in the city Athribis. I performed more kind (and) good deed(s) for him than the father who had engendered me.
Obverse Column ii [19:21] ii 2020–ii 2121	(As for) Taharqa, in the place where he had fled, the awesome terror of the weapon of (the god) Aššur, my lord, overwhelmed him and he passed away.
Obverse Column ii [21:27] ii 2222–ii 2727	Afterwards, Tanutamon, the son of Shabako, sat upon his royal throne. He made the cities Thebes (and) Heliopolis his fortresses (and) assembled his forces. To fight against the Assyrian troops (ii 25) who were inside the city Memphis, he mobilized his battle array, confined those people, and cut off their escape route. A fast messenger came to Nineveh and told (this) to me.
Obverse Column ii [27:33] ii 2828–ii 3333	On my second campaign, I took the direct road to Egypt and Kush. Tanutamon heard about the advance of my expeditionary force and that I had set foot on Egyptian territory, he abandoned the city Memphis and, in order to save his (own) life, he fled inside the city Thebes. The kings, governors, (and) officials whom I had stationed in Egypt came to meet me and kissed my feet.
Obverse Column ii [33:38] ii 3434–ii 3838	I took the road in pursuit of Tanutamon (and) I marched as far as the city Thebes, his fortified city. He saw the assault of my mighty battle array and abandoned the city Thebes; he fled to the city Kipkipi. With the support of (the god) Aššur and the goddess Ištar, I conquered that city (Thebes) in its entirety.
Obverse Column ii [38:48] ii 3939–ii 4848	Silver, gold, precious stones, as much property of his palace as there was, garment(s) with multi-colored trim, linen garments, large horses, people — male and female — two tall obelisks cast with shiny zaḫalû-metal, whose weight was 2,500 talents (and which) stood at a temple gate, I ripped (them) from where they were erected and took (them) to Assyria. I carried off substantial booty, (which was) without number, from inside the city Thebes. (ii 45) I made my weapons prevail over Egypt and Kush and (thus) achieved victory. With full hand(s), I returned safely to Nineveh, my capital city.
Obverse Column ii [48:55] ii 4949–ii 5555	On my third campaign, I marched against Baʾalu, the king of the land Tyre who resides in the middle of the sea. Because he did not honor my royal command(s and) did not obey the pronouncement(s) from my lips, I set up outposts against him. By sea and dry land, I took control of (all of) his routes. I constricted (and) cut short their lives. I made them (the people of Tyre) bow down to my yoke.
Obverse Column ii [55:62] ii 5656–ii 6262	He brought before me (his) daughter, his own offspring, and the daughters of his brothers to serve as housekeepers. He sent at the same time Yāḫi-Milki, his son, who had never crossed the sea, to do obeisance to me. (ii 60) I received from him his daughter and the daughters of his brothers, together with a large marriage gift. I had mercy on him and (then) I gave (his) son, his offspring, back to him.
Obverse Column ii [62:67] ii 6363–ii 6767	(As for) Yakīn-Lû, the king of the land Arwad, who resides in the middle of the sea (and) who had not bowed down to the kings, my ancestors, he bowed down to my yoke. He brought to Nineveh his daughter, together with a substantial dowry, to serve as a housekeeper, and he kissed my feet.
Obverse Column ii [67:74] ii 6868–ii 7474	(As for) Mugallu, the king of the land Tabal who had spoken with disrespect to the kings, my ancestors, he brought to Nineveh (his) daughter, his own offspring, together with a large marriage gift, to serve as a housekeeper, and he kissed my feet. I imposed upon Mugallu an annual payment of large horses.
Obverse Column ii [74:80] ii 7575–ii 8080	(As for) Sanda-šarme of the land Ḫilakku (Cilicia), who had not bowed down to the kings, my ancestors, (and) had not pulled their yoke, he brought to Nineveh (his) daughter, his own offspring, together with a substantial dowry, to serve as a housekeeper, and he kissed my feet.
Obverse Column ii [80:94] ii 8181–ii 9494	After Yakīn-Lû, the king of the land Arwad, had disappeared, Azi-Baʾal, Abī-Baʾal, Adūnī-Baʾal, Sapaṭ-Baʾal, Būdi-Baʾal, Baʾal-iašūpu, Baʾal-ḫanūnu, Baʾal-maluku, Abī-Milki, (and) Aḫī-Milki, (ii 85) the sons of Yakīn-Lû who reside in the middle of the sea, came up from the middle of the sea, came with their substantial audience gift(s), and kissed my feet. I looked upon Azi-Baʾal with pleasure and installed him as king of the land Arwad. (ii 90) I clothed Abī-Baʾal, Adūnī-Baʾal, Sapaṭ-Baʾal, Būdi-Baʾal, Baʾal-iašūpu, Baʾal-ḫanūnu, Baʾal-maluku, Abī-Milki, (and) Aḫī-Milki in garment(s) with multi-colored trim (and) fastened gold bracelets around their wrists. I made them stand before me.
Obverse Column ii [94:102] ii 9595–ii 102102	(As for) Gyges, the king of the land Lydia — a region on the opposite shore of the sea, a remote place, the mention of whose name none of the kings, my ancestors, had (ever) heard — (the god) Aššur, the god who created me, made him see in a dream the mention of my name, saying: “Grasp the feet of Ashurbanipal, king of Assyria, and conquer your enemies through the mention of his name.” (ii 100) On the (very) day he saw this dream, he sent his mounted messenger to inquire about my well-being. (As for) this dream that he had seen, he sent (a message about it) by the hands of a messenger of his and he reported (it) to me.
Obverse Column ii [102:110] ii 103103–ii 110110	From the day that he grasped the feet of my royal majesty, he conquered the Cimmerians, who were disturbing the people of his land, had never feared my ancestors, and, with regard to me, had not grasped the feet of my royal majesty. With the support of (the god) Aššur and the goddess Ištar, my lords, he (Gyges) clamped two city rulers from among the city rulers of the Cimmerians that he had conquered in manacles, iron handcuffs, (and) fetters and sent (them) before me, together with (his) substantial audience gift(s).
Obverse Column ii [110:118] ii 111111–ii 118118	He allowed an interruption (in the sending of) his mounted messenger(s), whom he used to constantly send to inquire about my well-being. Because he did not honor the word(s) of (the god) Aššur, the god who created me, he trusted in his own strength and (his) heart became proud. (ii 115) He sent his forces to aid Psammetichus (I), the king of Egypt who had cast off the yoke of my lordly majesty, and (then) I myself heard about (this) and made an appeal to (the god) Aššur and the goddess Ištar, saying: “Let his corpse be cast down before his enemy and let them carry away his bones.” Just as I had appealed to (the god) Aššur, it was fulfilled and his corpse was cast down before his enemy and they carried away his bones.
Obverse Column ii [118:125] ii 119119–ii 125125	The Cimmerians whom he (Gyges) had trampled down through the mention of my name, attacked and flattened his entire land. Afterwards, his son, sat on his throne. (As for) the evil deed(s), which through my entreaties, the gods who support me had obstructed the father who had engendered him, he sent (a message about it) by the hands of his messenger and (then) he grasped the feet of my royal majesty, saying: “You are the king whom the god recognizes. You cursed my father and evil befell him. Pray for me, the servant who reveres you, so that I can pull your yoke.”
Obverse Column ii [125:132] ii 126126–ii 132132	On my fourth campaign, I mustered my troops (and) took the direct road against Aḫšēri, the king of the land Mannea. By the command of the deities Aššur, Sîn, Šamaš, Adad, Bēl (Marduk), Nabû, Ištar of Nineveh, Šarrat-Kidmuri, Ištar of Arbela, Ninurta, Nergal, (and) Nusku, I entered the land Mannea (and) marched about triumphantly. (ii 130) I conquered, destroyed, demolished, (and) burned with fire his fortified cities, together with small(er settlements), which were without number, as far as the city Izirtu. I brought people, horses, donkeys, oxen, and sheep and goats out of those cities and I counted (them) as booty.
Obverse Column ii [132:138] ii 133133–	Aḫšēri heard about the advance of my expeditionary force and abandoned the city Izirtu, his royal city. He fled to the city Ištatti, a city upon which he relied, and took refuge (there). I conquered that district. I laid waste to (an area of) fifteen days march and poured out (over it) the silence (of desolation).
Obverse Column iii [3:10] iii 44–iii 1010	(As for) Aḫšēri, who did not fear my lordly majesty — by the command of the goddess Ištar who resides in the city Arbela, which she had said from the beginning, saying: “I myself, just as I have commanded, will bring about the death of Aḫšēri, the king of the land Mannea” — she (Ištar) placed him in the hands of his servants and (then) the people of his land incited a rebellion against him. They cast his corpse into a street of his city (and) dragged his body to and fro. They cut down with the sword his brothers, his family, (and) the seed of his father’s house.
Obverse Column iii [10:26] iii 1111–iii 2626	Afterwards, Uallî, his son, sat on his throne. He saw the might of the deities Aššur, Sîn, Šamaš, Adad, Bēl (Marduk), Nabû, Ištar of Nineveh, Šarrat-Kidmuri, Ištar of Arbela, Ninurta, Nergal, (and) Nusku, the great gods, my lords, and bowed down to my yoke. For the preservation of his (own) life, he opened up his hands to me (and) made an appeal to my lordly majesty. He sent Erisinni, his heir designate, to Nineveh and he kissed my feet. (iii 20) I had mercy on him and (then) I dispatched my messenger with (a message of) goodwill to him. He sent me (his) daughter, his own offspring, to serve as a housekeeper. (As for) his former payment, which they had discontinued in the time of the kings, my ancestors, they carried (it) before me. (iii 25) I added thirty horses to his former payment and imposed (it) upon him.
Obverse Column iii [26:43] iii 2727–iii 4343	On my fifth campaign, I took the direct road to the land Elam. By the command of the deities Aššur, Sîn, Šamaš, Adad, Bēl (Marduk), Nabû, (iii 30) Ištar of Nineveh, Šarrat-Kidmuri, Ištar of Arbela, Ninurta, Nergal, (and) Nusku, in the month Ulūlu (VI) — “the work of the goddesses,” the month of the king of the gods, (the god) Aššur, the father of the gods, the god Nunnamnir — like the assault of a fierce storm, (iii 35) I covered the land Elam in its entirety. I cut off the head of Teumman, their presumptuous king who had plotted evil (deeds). I slew his warriors without number. I captured his fighting men alive. (iii 40) I filled the plain of the city Susa with their bodies like baltu-plant(s) and ašāgu-plant(s). I made the Ulāya River flow with their blood; I dyed its water red like a red-dyed wool.
Obverse Column iii [43:49] iii 4444–iii 4949	I took Ummanigaš (Ḫumban-nikaš II), a son of Urtaku — a (former) king of the land Elam — who had fled to me from Teumman to Assyria (and) had grasped my feet, with me to the land Elam (and) I placed him on Teumman’s throne. I installed Tammarītu, his third brother who had fled to me with him, as king in the city Ḫidalu.
Obverse Column iii [49:69] iii 5050–iii 6969	After I had made the weapons of (the god) Aššur and the goddess Ištar prevail over the land Elam (and) had continually established mighty victories, on my return march, I set out towards Dunānu, a Gambulian who had put his trust in the land Elam. I conquered the city Ša-pī-Bēl, a city upon which the land Gambulu relied. (iii 55) I entered that city (and) slaughtered its people like lambs. (As for) Dunānu (and) Samgunu, the ones who had disturbed my exercising the kingship, (iii 60) I clamped (their) hands and feet in iron manacles (and) handcuffs (and) iron fetters. (As for) the rest of the sons of Bēl-iqīša, his family, the seed of his father’s house, as many as there were, Nabû-naʾid (and) Bēl-ēṭir, sons of Nabû-šuma-ēreš, the šandabakku (governor of Nippur), and the bones of the father who had engendered them (Nabû-šuma-ēreš), (iii 65) I carried (them) off together with auxiliary forces, rebels, the people of the land Gambulu, oxen, sheep and goats, donkeys, horses, (and) mules out of the land Gambulu to Assyria. (As for) Ša-pī-Bēl, the city upon which he (Dunānu) relied, I destroyed, demolished, (and) dissolved (it) with water.
Obverse Column iii [69:77] iii 7070–iii 7777	At that time, (as for) Šamaš-šuma-ukīn, (my) unfaithful brother for whom I performed (many acts of) kindness (and) whom I had installed as king of Babylon — I made and gave him anything that is distinctive, appurtenances of kingship. (iii 75) I assembled soldiers, horses, (and) chariots and placed (them) in his hands. I gave him more cities, fields, orchards, (and) people to live inside them than the father who had engendered me had commanded.
Obverse Column iii [77:86] iii 7878–iii 8686	However, he forgot these (acts of) kindness that I had done for him and constantly sought out evil (deeds). (iii 80) Aloud, with his lips, he was speaking friendship, (but) deep down, his heart was scheming for murder. He lied to the citizens of Babylon who had been devoted to Assyria, servants who belonged to me, and he spoke words of deceit with them. (iii 85) In a crafty maneuver, he sent them to Nineveh, before me, to inquire about my well-being.
Obverse Column iii [86:92] iii 8787–iii 9292	I, Ashurbanipal, king of Assyria, for whom the great gods determined a favorable destiny, whom they created in truth and justice, convened those citizens of Babylon at a sumptuous banquet, clothed them in garment(s) with multi-colored trim, (and) fastened gold bracelets around their wrists.
Obverse Column iii [92:99] iii 9393–iii 9999	While those citizens of Babylon stayed in Assyria obediently awaiting my decisions, he, Šamaš-šuma-ukīn, (my) unfaithful brother who did not honor my treaty, incited the people of the land Akkad, Chaldea, Aram, (and) the Sealand, from the city Aqaba to the city Bāb-salimēti, servants who belonged to me, to rebel against me.
Obverse Column iii [99:106] iii 100100–iii 106106	Moreover, (as for) Ummanigaš (Ḫumban-nikaš II), a fugitive who had grasped the feet of my royal majesty (and) whom I had installed as king in the land Elam, as well as the kings of the land Gutium, the land Amurru, and Meluḫḫa (Ethiopia), whom I had installed (as rulers) by the command of (the god) Aššur and the goddess Mullissu, he (Šamaš-šuma-ukīn) made all of them become hostile towards me and they sided with him.
Obverse Column iii [106:117] iii 107107–iii 117117	He (Šamaš-šuma-ukīn) locked the (city) gates of Sippar, Babylon, (and) Borsippa and (then) broke off (our) brotherly relations. On the wall(s) of those cities, (iii 110) he posted his fighting men and they were constantly doing battle with me. He withheld the performing of my offerings before the gods Bēl (Marduk), Son-of-Bēl (Nabû), the light of the gods — Šamaš — and the warrior — Erra — and he discontinued my giving (them) food offerings. (iii 115) He plotted evil (ways) to deprive (me) of the cult centers, the dwelling place(s) of the great gods whose sanctuaries I had renovated (and) decorated with gold (and) silver, (and) in whose midst I constantly established appropriate procedures.
Obverse Column iii [117:127] iii 118118–iii 127127	At that time, one young man lay down during the night and saw a dream, saying: “On a socle of the god Sîn, it is written ‘I will grant a cruel death to those who have plotted evil (deeds and) initiated sedition against Ashurbanipal, the king of Assyria. I will bestow on them a horrible death by a swift iron dagger, fire, famine, (and) plague.’” I heard these (words) and I trusted in the word(s) of the god Sîn, my lord.
Obverse Column iii [127:135] iii 128128–iii 135135	On my sixth campaign, I mustered my troops (and) took the direct road against Šamaš-šuma-ukīn. I confined him, together with his fighting men, inside Sippar, Babylon, Borsippa, (and) Cutha, and I cut off their escape route(s). I brought about his defeat countless (times) in city and steppe. (As for) the rest, they laid down their live(s) through plague, famine, (and) starvation.
Obverse Column iii [135:141] iii 136136–	(As for) Ummanigaš (Ḫumban-nikaš II), the king of the land Elam installed by me (lit. “my hand”), who had accepted bribes from him (Šamaš-šuma-ukīn) and set out to help him, Tammarītu rebelled against him and struck him, together with his family, down with the sword.
Obverse Column iv [2:11] iv 33–iv 1111	Afterwards, Tammarītu, who sat on the throne of the land Elam after Ummanigaš (Ḫumban-nikaš II) (and) who did not inquire about the well-being of my royal majesty, came to the aid of Šamaš-šuma-ukīn — (my) hostile brother — and hastily sent his weapons to fight with my troops. As a result of the supplications that I had addressed to (the god) Aššur and the goddess Ištar, (iv 10) they accepted my prayers (and) listened to the utterance(s) of my lips. Indabibi, a servant of his, rebelled against him and brought about his defeat in a pitched battle.
Obverse Column iv [11:27] iv 1212–iv 2727	(As for) Tammarītu, the king of the land Elam who had spoken insolent word(s) on account of the cutting off of the head of Teumman — which a low-ranking soldier of my army had cut off — saying: “Will they cut off the head of the king of the land Elam in his (own) land, among his assembled troops?” He spoke a second time: “Moreover, how could Ummanigaš kiss the ground (iv 20) before a messenger of Ashurbanipal, king of Assyria?” On account of these words that he had slanderously uttered, (the god) Aššur and the goddess Ištar attacked him and (then) Tammarītu, his brothers, his family, (and) the seed of his father’s house, together with eighty-five nobles who march at his side, fled to me from Indabibi, and (then) crawled naked on their bellies and came to Nineveh.
Obverse Column iv [27:36] iv 2828–iv 3636	Tammarītu kissed the feet of my royal majesty and swept the ground with his beard. He took hold of the platform of my chariot and (then) handed himself over to do obeisance to me. By the command of (the god) Aššur and the goddess Ištar, he made an appeal to my lordly majesty to decide his case (and) to come to his aid. They (the fugitive Elamites) stood before me and (iv 35) were singing the praises of the valor of my mighty gods, who had come to my aid.
Obverse Column iv [36:40] iv 3737–iv 4040	I, Ashurbanipal, the magnanimous (and) forbearing one who abolishes sins, had mercy on Tammarītu and allowed him, together with the seed of his father’s house to stay in my palace.
Obverse Column iv [40:45] iv 4141–iv 4545	At that time, (as for) the people of the land Akkad who had sided with Šamaš-šuma-ukīn (and) plotted evil (deeds), hunger took hold of them. They ate the flesh of their sons (and) their daughters on account of their hunger; they gnawed on (leather) straps.
Obverse Column iv [45:52] iv 4646–iv 5252	The deities Aššur, Sîn, Šamaš, Adad, Bēl (Marduk), Nabû, Ištar of Nineveh, Šarrat-Kidmuri, Ištar of Arbela, Ninurta, Nergal, (and) Nusku, who march before me (and) kill my foes, consigned Šamaš-šuma-ukīn, (my) hostile brother who had started a fight against me, to a raging conflagration and destroyed his life.
Obverse Column iv [52:63] iv 5353–iv 6363	Moreover, (as for) the people who had incited Šamaš-šuma-ukīn, (my) hostile brother, (so that) he performed this evil deed, who feared death, whose lives were precious to them, and who did not fall into the fire with Šamaš-šuma-ukīn, their lord, (and) those who had escaped the cut of an iron dagger, famine, starvation, (iv 60) (and) raging fire, (and) had taken refuge — the net of the great gods, my lords, from which there is no escape, overwhelmed them. Not a single one (of them) escaped; (anyone) who tried to get away did not escape my grasp; they (the gods) placed (them) in my hands.
Obverse Column iv [63:69] iv 6464–iv 6969	They brought before me chariots, a processional carriage, a parasol, his palace women, (and) property of his palace. (As for) those soldiers with blasphemous mouths who had uttered blasphemy against (the god) Aššur, my god, and had plotted evil (deeds) against me, the ruler who reveres him, I slit open their mouths (and) brought about their defeat.
Obverse Column iv [69:76] iv 7070–iv 7676	(As for) the rest of the people, those (still) alive, at the bull colossus where they had laid flat Sennacherib — the father of the father who had engendered me — I myself now laid flat those people there as a funerary-offering for him. I fed their dismembered flesh to dogs, pigs, vultures, eagles, birds of the heavens, (and) fish of the apsû.
Obverse Column iv [76:91] iv 7777–iv 9191	After I had performed these deeds (and) pacified the heart(s) of the great gods, my lords, I brought out of Babylon, Cutha, (and) Sippar the bones of the people’s corpses that the god Erra had cut down and those who had laid down (their) live(s) from famine (and) starvation, the remnants of meal(s) for dogs (and) pigs, which were obstructing the streets (and) filling the squares, and (iv 85) I cast (them) outside. Through the craft of the purification priest, I purified their daises; I cleansed their sullied streets. Through taqribtu-ritual(s) and eršangû-ritual(s), I appeased their angry gods (and) their furious goddesses. (As for) their regular offerings, which had diminished, I confirmed (them) in full again, just as (they were) in distant days.
Obverse Column iv [91:109] iv 9292–iv 109109	(As for) the rest of the citizens of Babylon, Cutha, (and) Sippar who had escaped plague, slaughter, and famine, I had mercy on them; I commanded the preservation of their lives. I settled them inside Babylon. (As for) the people of the land Akkad, together with (those of) Chaldea, Aram, (and) the Sealand, whom Šamaš-šuma-ukīn got as help and united, (iv 100) (and) who decided on their own to become hostile towards me, by the command of (the god) Aššur and the goddess Mullissu, the gods who support me, I subdued (them) to their full extent. I imposed upon them the yoke of (the god) Aššur that they had cast off. (iv 105) I installed over them governors (and) officials appointed by me (lit. “my hand”). I confirmed regular offerings (and) contributions as first-fruits offerings for (the god) Aššur, the goddess Mullissu, and the gods of Assyria. I imposed upon them tribute payment (in recognition) of my dominion (to be delivered) yearly (and) without interruption.
Obverse Column iv [109:122] iv 110110–iv 122122	On my seventh campaign, in the month Simānu (III), the month of the god Sîn — the lord of oracular decisions, the eldest (and) foremost son of the god Enlil — I mustered my troops (and) took the direct road against Ummanaldašu (Ḫumban-ḫaltaš III), the king of the land Elam. I took with me Tammarītu, the (former) king of the land Elam (iv 115) who had fled to me from Indabibi — his servant — and who had grasped my feet. The people of the cities Ḫilmu, Pillatu, Dummuqu, Sulāya, (and) Laḫīru (of) Dibirīna (Yadburu) heard about the assault of my mighty battle array as I was marching to the land Elam. The awe-inspiring radiance of (the god) Aššur and the goddess Ištar, my lords, (iv 120) (and) fear of my royal majesty overwhelmed them. They, their people, their oxen, (and) their sheep and goats, arrived in Assyria to do obeisance to me and they grasped the feet of my royal majesty.
Obverse Column iv [122:137] iv 123123–iv 137137	(As for) the earlier city Bīt-Imbî, a royal city (and) residence upon which the land Elam relied that blocks the approach to the land Elam like a great wall, which Sennacherib — king of Assyria, the father of the father who had engendered me — had conquered before my time, and (where) he, the Elamite (Ummanaldašu) had built another city opposite the earlier city Bīt-Imbî and (then) strengthened its (city) wall, (iv 130) raised its outer wall high, (and) named it (the new city) Bīt-Imbî — I conquered (it) in the course of my campaign. (As for) the people living inside it, who had not come out and inquired about the well-being of my royal majesty, I killed (them). I cut off their heads, sliced off their lips, (and) took (them) to Assyria to be a spectacle for the people of my land.
Obverse Column v [0:5] v 1v 1–v 55	(As for) Imbappi, the official of the city Bīt-Imbî, an in-law of Ummanaldašu (Ḫumban-ḫaltaš III), the king of the land Elam, I brought him out of that city alive. I placed (his) hands and feet in iron fetters and brought him to Assyria.
Obverse Column v [5:10] v 66–v 1010	I brought out a palace woman and the sons of Teumman — a (former) king of the land Elam whose head I had cut off during a previous campaign on the instructions of (the god) Aššur — together with the rest of the people living in the city Bīt-Imbî and I counted (them) as booty.
Obverse Column v [10:14] v 1111–v 1414	(As for) Ummanaldašu (Ḫumban-ḫaltaš III), the king of the land Elam, he heard about the entry of my troops, who had entered inside the land Elam; he abandoned the city Madaktu, a royal city of his, and (then) fled and took to the mountains (lit. “ascended his mountain”).
Obverse Column v [14:20] v 1515–v 2020	(As for) Umba-LAGABua, who had fled to the city Bubilu after the land Elam had revolted and who sat on the throne of the land Elam in opposition to Ummanaldašu, he, like him (Ummanaldašu) heard about (the advance of my army) and abandoned the city Bubilu, a city that was a lordly residence of his, and, like fish, he took to the depths of far away waters.
Obverse Column v [20:22] v 2121–v 2222	(As for) Tammarītu, who had fled to me (and) grasped my feet, I brought him into the city Susa (and) I installed him as king.
Obverse Column v [22:40] v 2323–v 4040	He forgot the kindness that I had done for him, in having sent aid to him, and constantly sought out evil (ways) to conquer my troops. (v 25) He said the following to himself (lit. “his heart”), saying: “(As for) the people of the land Elam, they have become women. (Who are) they in the face of Assyria? They (the Assyrians) are coming in and constantly plundering the land Elam.” (The god) Aššur and the goddess Ištar, who marched at my side (and) (v 30) allowed me to stand over my foes, saw the dangerous (and) rebellious thought(s) of Tammarītu and called him to account: They removed him from his royal throne and (then) made him return (and) bow down at my feet for a second time. On account of these words, with the fury that my heart had because the unfaithful Tammarītu had sinned against me, through the mighty victories of the great gods, my lords, I marched about triumphantly inside the land Elam in its entirety.
Obverse Column v [40:62] v 4141–v 6262	On my successful return march, I turned back (lit. “I turned the front of my yoke”) to Assyria with full hand(s).

I carried off to Assyria their gods, their people, their oxen, their sheep and goats, their possessions, their property, wagons, horses, mules, equipment, (and) implements of war.
Obverse Column v [62:76] v 6363–v 7676	On my eighth campaign, by the command of (the god) Aššur and the goddess Ištar, I mustered my troops (and) I took the direct road against Ummanaldašu (Ḫumban-ḫaltaš III), the king of the land Elam. (Like) the city Bīt-Imbî, which I had conquered during a previous campaign of mine, I now conquered (the rest of) the land Rāši (and) the city Ḫamānu, along with their (lit. “its”) district(s). Moreover, he, Ummanaldašu, the king of the land Elam, (v 70) heard about the conquest of the land Rāši (and) the city Ḫamānu and fear of (the god) Aššur and the goddess Ištar, who march at my side, overwhelmed him and (then) he abandoned the city Madaktu, a royal city of his, and fled to the city Dūr-Undāsi. He crossed the Idide River and established that river as his defensive position. He prepared himself to fight with me.

Obverse Column v [89:92] v 9090–v 9292	With the support of (the god) Aššur and the goddess Ištar, I advanced and marched against Ummanaldašu (Ḫumban-ḫaltaš III), the king of the land Elam who had not bowed down to my yoke.
Obverse Column v [92:94] v 9393–v 9494	In the course of my campaign, I conquered the city Dūr-Undāsi, a royal city of his.
Obverse Column v [94:103] v 9595–v 103103	My troops saw the Idide River, a raging torrent (and) were afraid to cross (it). During the night, the goddess Ištar who resides in the city Arbela showed a dream to my troops and said the following to them, (v 100) saying: “I myself will go before Ashurbanipal, the king that my (own two) hands created.” My troops trusted this dream (and) they safely crossed the Idide River.
Obverse Column v [103:110] v 104104–v 110110	I conquered, destroyed, demolished, (and) burned with fire fourteen cities, his royal residence(s), together with small(er) settlements, which were without number, and twelve districts that were in the land Elam, all of it.

Obverse Column v [117:125] v 118118–v 125125	As for the people living inside them, I annihilated them. I smashed their gods (and thus) placated the mood of the lord of lords. I carried off to Assyria its gods, its goddesses, its possessions, (and) its property, (as well as) people, young and old. (Over) an area of sixty leagues, by the command that (the god) Aššur and the goddess Ištar had given to me, I entered the land Elam (and) marched about triumphantly.

I opened up their treasuries, inside which silver, gold, possessions, (and) property had been stored — (vi 1) which the former kings of the land Elam down to the kings of this time had collected (and) deposited — (and) wherein no other enemy apart from me had laid his hands, and I brought (all of this) out and counted (it) as booty.

Obverse Column vi [57:69] vi 5858–vi 6969	I removed šēdus (and) lamassus, as many protectors of the temple as there were. I ripped out the raging wild bulls that adorned gateways. I had the sanctuaries of the land Elam utterly destroyed (and) I counted its gods (and) its goddesses as ghosts. (vi 65) (As for) their secret groves, into which no outsider has (ever) gazed (or) set foot within their borders, my battle troops entered inside them, saw their secrets, (and) burned (them) with fire.

Obverse Column vi [95:106] vi 9696–vi 106106	I gathered earth from the cities Susa, Madaktu, Ḫaltemaš, and the rest of their cult centers (and) took (it) to Assyria. During one full month, (vi 100) I flattened the land Elam to its full extent. I deprived his fields of the clamor of humans, (the sound of) the treading of oxen, sheep and goats, (and) the cr(ies) of pleasant work song(s).

Obverse Column vii [37:50] vii 3838–vii 5050	Ummanaldašu (Ḫumban-ḫaltaš III) became frightened and preserved the corpse of that Nabû-bēl-šumāti in salt, and (then) he gave (it) to my messenger, along with the head of his personal attendant who had struck him down with the sword, and sent him (my messenger) before me.

Obverse Column vii [50:57] vii 5151–vii 5757	Paʾê, who had exercised dominion over the land Elam in opposition to Ummanaldašu (Ḫumban-ḫaltaš III), thought about the awe-inspiring brilliance of the fierce weapons of (the god) Aššur and the goddess Ištar that they had poured over the land Elam, (not) one time (or) two times, (but) three times, and he became disheartened. He fled to me from within the land Elam and grasped the feet of my royal majesty.
Obverse Column vii [57:81] vii 5858–vii 8181	(As for) the people, the survivors of the cities Bīt-Imbî, Kuṣurtāyin, Dūr-šarri, Massūtu, Bubê, Bīt-Unzāya, Bīt-Arrabi, Ibrat, Dimtu-ša-Tapapa, Akbarina, Gurukirra, Dunni-Šamaš, Ḫamānu, (vii 65) Kaniṣu, Aranziaše, Ālu-ša-nāqidāte, Dimtu-ša-Simame, Bīt-Qatatti, Ālu-ša-Qīsāya, Subaḫê, (and) Tīl-Ḫumba(n), (vii 70) who had fled from the mighty weapons of (the god) Aššur and the goddess Ištar during a previous campaign of mine (and) had taken to Mount (lit. “city”) Salatri, a rugged mountain — (as for) those people who had established Mount (lit. “city”) Salatri, a mountain, as their defensive position, (vii 75) the awe-inspiring brilliance of (the god) Aššur and the goddess Ištar, my lords, overwhelmed them (and) they fled to me from the mountain(s), their place of refuge, and grasped my feet. I conscripted them as archer(s and) added (them) to my royal contingent, which they (the gods) had placed in my hands.
Obverse Column vii [81:106] vii 8282–vii 106106	On my ninth campaign, I mustered my troops (and) took the direct road against Uaiteʾ (Iautaʾ), the king of the land of the Arabs (vii 85) who had sinned against my treaty, had not respected the kindness that I had done for him, and had cast off the yoke of my lordship, which (the god) Aššur had imposed upon him (so that) he pulled my yoke. He refrained from inquiring about my well-being and (vii 90) withheld audience gift(s and) his substantial payment(s), from me. Just like the land Elam, he listened to the lies spoken by the land Akkad and (then) he did not honor my treaty. He abandoned me, Ashurbanipal, the holy priest, (vii 95) the pious servant, the creation of the hands of (the god) Aššur, and he gave (his) forces to Abī-Yateʾ (and) Aya-ammu, son(s) of Tēʾri. (vii 100) He sent (them) to aid Šamaš-šuma-ukīn, (my) hostile brother, and he sided (with him). (As for) the people of the land of the Arabs (who were) with him, he made (them) hostile (towards me) and (then) they were constantly plundering the people whom (the god) Aššur, the goddess Ištar, and the great gods (vii 105) had given to me to be their shepherd (lit. “to perform their shepherdship”) and (whom) they had placed in my hands.

I struck down with the sword the people of the land of the Arabs, as many as had risen up with him. However, he escaped from the mighty weapons of (the god) Aššur and fled far away. They (my troops) set fire to pavilion(s and) tents, their abodes, (and thus) burned (them) with fire.
Obverse Column vii [122:124] vii 123123–vii 124124	(As for) Uaiteʾ (Iautaʾ), hardship befell him and he fled alone to the land of the Nabayateans.

To show the praise of (the god) Aššur and the great gods, my lords, (viii 10) I imposed a heavy punishment upon him. I placed him in a neck-stock, bound him with a bear (and) a dog and (then) made him guard the Citadel Gate of Nineveh, (whose name is) the Entrance to the Place Where the World Is Controlled.
Obverse Column viii [14:29] viii 1515–viii 2929	Moreover, he, Ammi-ladī(n), the king of the land Qedar, set out to fight with the kings of the land Amurru whom (the god) Aššur, the goddess Ištar, and the great gods had entrusted to me.

(viii 25) They (my troops) seized him alive together with Adiya, wife of Uaiteʾ (Iautaʾ), the king of the land of the Arabs, and brought (him) before me. By the command of the great gods, my lords, I placed him (Ammu-ladīn) in a dog collar and made him guard the gate.
Obverse Column viii [29:47] viii 3030–viii 4747	By the command of (the god) Aššur, the goddess Ištar, and the great gods, my lords, I fought with Abī-Yateʾ (and) Aya-ammu, son(s) of Tēʾri, who had come to the aid of Šamaš-šuma-ukīn by entering Babylon as his allies, (and) I brought about his defeat. (viii 35) (As for) the rest who had entered Babylon, they ate each other’s flesh on account of famine (and) starvation. In order to save their (own) live(s), they came out of Babylon and (viii 40) (then) the forces of mine who were stationed against Šamaš-šuma-ukīn, brought about his defeat for a second time. He (Abī-Yateʾ) then fled alone and grasped my feet in order to save his (own) life. I had mercy on him, (viii 45) made him swear to a treaty, an oath bound by the great gods, and (then) installed him as king of the land of the Arabs in place of Uaiteʾ (Iautaʾ), son of Hazael.
Obverse Column viii [47:51] viii 4848–viii 5151	However, he (Abī-Yateʾ) sided with the Nabayateans, did not respect the oath(s sworn) by the great gods, and constantly plundered the territory of my land.

(viii 60) The one who had never sent his messenger to the kings, my ancestors, and who had not inquired about the well-being of their royal majesties, out of fear of the conquering weapons of (the god) Aššur, approached me and inquired about the well-being of my royal majesty.
Obverse Column viii [64:72] viii 6565–viii 7272	Moreover, Abī-Yateʾ, the son of Tēʾri who who did not remember (my) kindness (and) did not honor the oath(s sworn) by the great gods, spoke lies to me and sided with Natnu, the king of the land of the Nabayateans. They (then) mustered their forces for a wicked assault on my border(s).
Obverse Column viii [72:95] viii 7373–viii 9595	By the command of the deities Aššur, Sîn, Šamaš, Adad, Bēl (Marduk), Nabû, Ištar of Nineveh, (viii 75) Šarrat-Kidmuri, Ištar of Arbela, Ninurta, Nergal, (and) Nusku, I mustered my troops (and) I took the direct road against Abī-Yateʾ. (viii 80) They (my troops) safely crossed the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers when they were in full spate, traveled on remote paths, climbed high mountains, crept through forests whose canop(ies) were wide, (and) (viii 85) constantly passed safely between tall trees, thorn bushes, brambles, (and) paths (filled with) eddittu-bushes. (Over) desert — a place of parching thirst in which no bird of the heavens flies (viii 90) (and) where no onagers (or) gazelles graze — a distance of one hundred leagues from Nineveh, the city loved by the goddess Ištar — the wife of the god Enlil — they advanced (and) marched in pursuit of Uaiteʾ, the king of the land of the Arabs, and Abī-Yateʾ, who had come with forces of the land of the Nabayateans.
Obverse Column viii [95:119] viii 9696–viii 119119	In the month Simānu (III), the month of the god Sîn — the eldest (and) foremost son of the god Enlil — on the twenty-fifth day, the procession of the Lady of Babylon, the venerated one of the great gods, (viii 100) I set out from the city Ḫadattâ (and) set up my camp at the city Laribda, a stone fortress next to water cisterns. My troops drew water to (fill) their drinking vessel(s), and (viii 105) (then) advanced (and) marched (through) a land of parching thirst (lit. “a land of thirst (and) a place of parching”) as far as the city Ḫurarīna, (which is) between the cities Yarki and Azalla, in the desert, a distant place where there are no creatures of the steppe (viii 110) and (where) no bird of the heavens makes (its) nest. They (lit. “I”) brought about the defeat of the Yisammeʾ, the confederation of the god Atar-samayin, and the Nabayateans. (viii 115) They (lit. “I”) plundered countless people, donkeys, camels, and sheep and goats. My troops marched about triumphantly over a distance of eight leagues. They returned safely and drank water to (their) satisfaction in the city Azalla.
Obverse Column viii [119:133] viii 120120–	They (my troops) advanced (and) marched from the city Azalla to the city Quraṣiti, a distance of six leagues (through) a place of parching thirst. (ix 1) They (lit. “I”) surrounded the confederation of the god Atar-samayin and the Qederites of Uaiteʾ, son of Bir-Dāda, the king of the land of the Arabs. (As for) his gods, his mother, his sisters, his wife, his family, the people of the land Qedar, all (of it), (ix 5) donkeys, camels, and sheep and goats, as many as I had captured with the support of (the god) Aššur and the goddess Ištar, my lords, I made their feet take the road to Damascus.

I advanced and marched a distance of six leagues, the entire night, as far as the city Ḫulḫuliti, (ix 15) at Mount Ḫukkuruna, a rugged mountain. I reached the confederation of Abī-Yateʾ, son of Tēʾri, the Qederite. I brought about his defeat (and) plundered him. (As for) Abī-Yateʾ (and) Aya-ammu, (ix 20) by the command of (the god) Aššur and the goddess Ištar, my lords, I captured them alive in the thick of battle. I placed (their) hands and feet in iron fetters (and) took them to Assyria, together with plunder from their land.
Obverse Column ix [24:41] ix 2525–ix 4141	The fugitives who had fled from my weapons became frightened (and) took to Mount Ḫukkuruna, a rugged mountain. In the cities Manḫabbi, Apparu, Tenuquri, Ṣayuran, Marqanâ, Saratein, (ix 30) Enzikarme, Taʾnâ, (and) Sarāqa, where(ever there was) a spring (or) a source of water, as many as there were, I had guards stationed over (them) and (thus) I withheld (from them) the water (which) sustains their live(s). I made drink scarce for their mouths (and) (ix 35) they laid down (their) live(s) from parching thirst. (As for) the rest (of them), they cut open the camels that they rode (and) drank the blood and the liquid from the excrement to (quench) their thirst. (As for) those who had gone up (and) entered into the mountain(s), (and) had sought refuge (there), (ix 40) not a single one (of them) escaped; (anyone) who tried to get away did not escape my grasp. I conquered them where(ever) they took refuge.
Obverse Column ix [41:52] ix 4242–ix 5252	They (lit. “I”) carried off to Assyria people — male and female — donkeys, camels, oxen, and sheep and goats without number. (ix 45) They filled (with them) the whole extent of my land, all that (the god) Aššur had given to me in its entirety, to all of its border(s). I apportioned camels like sheep and goats (and) divided (them) among the people of Assyria (so that) within my country they (the Assyrians) could purchase camels for one shekel (or even) a half [shekel] of silver at the market gate. (ix 50) The female tavern keeper for a serving, the beer brewer for a jug (of beer), (and) the gardener for his bag of vegetables were regularly receiving camels and slaves.
Obverse Column ix [52:64] ix 5353–ix 6464	(As for) Uaiteʾ, along with his troops, who did not honor my treaty, who had flown away from the weapons of (the god) Aššur, my lord, (and) had fled into the presence of Natnu, the god Erra, the warrior, cut them down. Famine broke out among them and they ate the flesh of their children on account of their hunger. (ix 60) The deities Aššur, Sîn, Šamaš, Adad, Bēl (Marduk), Nabû, Ištar of Nineveh, Šarrat-Kidmuri, Ištar of Arbela, Ninurta, Nergal, (and) Nusku decreed curses, as many as were written in their treaties, accordingly upon them.

The people of the land of the Arabs constantly asked one another: (ix 70) “Why have evil deeds such as these (lit. “this”) befallen the land of the Arabs?” (The other answered): “Because we did not honor the great treaties (sworn) by (the god) Aššur (and) sinned against the kindness of Ashurbanipal, the king who is loved by the heart of the god Enlil.”
Obverse Column ix [74:78] ix 7575–ix 7878	The goddess Mullissu, the wild cow, the supreme goddess, the most impetuous one among goddesses, who(se) position is equal in rank with (that of) the gods Anu (and) Enlil, gored (to death) my foes with her powerful horns.

Obverse Column ix [85:89] ix 8686–ix 8989	The god Nusku, the attentive vizier who makes lordship resplendent, who by the command of (the god) Aššur, the goddess Mullissu, (and) the warrior, the Lady of Arbela, marched at my side and protected my royal majesty, stood at the front of my troops and cut down my foes.
Obverse Column ix [89:102] ix 9090–ix 102102	(As for) the assault of the weapons of (the god) Aššur and the goddess Ištar, the great gods, my lords, who had come to my aid to do battle, the troops of Uaiteʾ heard about (this) and they rebelled against him (Uaiteʾ). (ix 95) He (Uaiteʾ) became frightened and came out from the place (where) he had fled. With the support of the deities Aššur, Sîn, Šamaš, Adad, Bēl (Marduk), Nabû, Ištar of Nineveh, Šarrat-Kidmuri, Ištar of Arbela, (ix 100) Ninurta, Nergal, (and) Nusku, I captured him and brought him to Assyria.
Obverse Column ix [102:114] ix 103103–ix 114114	Through my entreaties that I had constantly made to (the god) Aššur and the goddess Mullissu in order to conquer my enemies, I pierced his (Uaiteʾ’s) jaw with the ... of the ... that my (own) hands hold. I put a lead-rope through his gums, placed him in a dog collar, and (ix 110) (then) made him guard the door of the eastern gate of the citadel of Nineveh, whose name is the Entrance to the Place Where the World Is Controlled. (So that he could) sing the praise(s) of (the god) Aššur, the goddess Ištar, and the great gods, my lords, I had mercy on him and spared his life.
Obverse Column ix [114:121] ix 115115–ix 121121	On my return march, I conquered the city Ušû (Palaetyrus), whose location is situated on the shore of the sea. I slew the people of the city Ušû who had not been obedient to their governors by not giving payment, their annual giving. (ix 120) I rendered judgement on (those) insubmissive people: I carried off their gods (and) their people to Assyria.
Obverse Column ix [121:128] ix 122122–ix 128128	I killed the insubmissive people of the city Acco. I hung their corpses on poles (and) placed (them) around the city.

He (then) fled alone from the rebellion that his servants had incited against him and he took to the mountain(s). From the mountain(s), his place of refuge where he had always fled, I caught him like a falcon and took him alive to Assyria.
Obverse Column x [16:39] x 1717–x 3939	(As for) Tammarītu, Paʾê, (and) Ummanaldašu (Ḫumban-ḫaltaš III), who had exercised dominion over the land Elam after one another (x 20) (and) whom I had made bow down to my yoke through the might of (the god) Aššur and the goddess Ištar, my lords, (and) Uaiteʾ, the king of the land of the Arabs whose defeat I had brought about by the command of (the god) Aššur and the goddess Ištar (and whom) I had taken [out of] his (own) [lan]d to Assyria — after I had gone up to perform sacrifices (and) (x 25) had performed the rites of the akītu-house in Emašmaš, the seat of their dominion, before the goddess Mullissu — the mother of the great gods, the spouse loved by (the god) Aššur — I made them take hold of the yoke of (my) processional carriage. (x 30) They pulled (it) up to the gate of the temple while I was seated above them (lit. “while (they were) below me”). (There) I humbled myself (lit. “I stroked my nose”) (and) paid careful attention to their divinity. In a rally of my troops, I made visible their (the god’s) strength, (through) which the deities Aššur, Sîn, Šamaš, Adad, Bēl (Marduk), Nabû, Ištar of Nineveh, (x 35) Šarrat-Kidmuri, Ištar of Arbela, Ninurta, Nergal, (and) Nusku made those insubmissive to me bow down to my yoke (and) made me stand over my enemies in mighty victories.

Obverse Column x [75:84] x 7676–x 8484	On the site of its (original) structure, I fashioned (its) brickwork fifty courses of brick (high). I filled in the terrace. I showed reverence before the sanctuaries of the great gods, my lords, and (x 80) (so) I did not raise up the structure of that terrace too high. In a favorable month, (on) an auspicious day, I laid its foundation(s) on that terrace (and thereby) secured its brickwork. I mixed its kalakku-mortar with beer and wine; I blended its šallaru-plaster.
Obverse Column x [84:97] x 8585–x 9797	With wagons of the land Elam that I had carried off by the command of the great gods, my lords, in order to build that House of Succession, the people of my land were carrying bricks there. (As for) the kings of the land of the Arabs who had sinned against my treaty (and) (x 90) whom I had captured alive in the thick of battle, in order to build that House of Succession, I made them take up hoe(s and) basket(s of earth), (and) carry kudurru-baskets. Its brick maker(s and) hod carrier(s) (x 95) spent their days in rejoicing (and) singing. While there were joyous celebrations, I built (it) from its foundation(s) to its crenellations. I made its structure larger (and) its workmanship more splendid than the previous one.
Obverse Column x [97:103] x 9898–x 103103	I roofed it with long beams of cedar grown on Mount Sirāra (and) Mount Lebanon. I fastened band(s) of bronze on doors of white cedar, whose scent is sweet, (and) fixed (them) in its gateways. I covered tall columns with shiny copper and positioned the architrave(s) of the gate(s) of its bīt-ḫilāni (on them). I completed that House of Succession, my royal residence, in its entirety. I filled (it) with splendor.
Obverse Column x [103:105] x 104104–x 105105	I planted alongside it (the palace) a botanical garden, which has all (types of) trees, (and) every fruit (and) vegetable.
