| Obverse [0:3] 11–33 | [To the divine] Sebetti, the great gods, noble warriors, lovers of marshes, who march about on mountain paths, who survey heaven (and) underworld, who maintain shrines, who heed prayers, accept petitions, (and) receive requests, [who] fulfil desires, who lay low enemies, the compassionate (gods) to whom it is good to pray, who dwell in [Nineveh], my [city], the great lords, my lords: |
| Obverse [3:4] 44–44 | Shalmaneser, appointee of the god Enlil, vice-regent of Aššur, son of Ashurnasirpal (II), [appointee of the god Enlil], vice-regent of Aššur, son of Tukultī-Ninurta (II), appointee of the god Enlil, vice-regent of Aššur: |
| Obverse [4:7] 55–77 | I dedicated (this) to the divine Sebetti, my lords, for my life, that my days might be long, my years many, (for) [the well-being of] my seed (and) land, (for) the safekeeping of my vice-regal throne, for the scorching of my enemies, for the destruction of all my foes, to subdue at my feet [rulers who oppose] me. |
