I fashioned two royal statues of myself, inscribed thereon my mighty praises (and) erected one in the nearest of his cities (and) the second in the farthest of his cities on a cape (jutting) into the sea.

I completely rebuilt it from top to bottom (and) (iv 50) decorated (it) more splendidly than before. I made it <N> layers of brick high and thirteen bricks wide, using the large brick mold (as standard). I mixed its clay with honey, fine oil, cedar resin, beer, (and) wine.

| Bottom [2:4] b.e. 33– | May a later prince restore its weakened portions (and) return my inscriptions together with the inscriptions of the kings my fathers (Left edge l) to their places. (Then) Aššur, the god Adad, (and) the great gods will listen to his prayers. |
