| Obverse [1:3] 22–33 | At that time the temple of the god Adad, which [...]. my (fore)father who preceded me had previously built — this temple had become dilapidated. I delineated its site (and) dug out its foundation pit. I [completely] rebuilt it [from top to bottom] (and) decorated (it) more splendidly than before. |
| Obverse [3:5] 44–55 | May [a later] prince restore its [weakened (parts)] (and) return my inscription [to] its place. (Then) the god Adad will listen to his prayers. |
