| Obverse Column i [0:8] i 1i 1–i 88 | (With regard to) Ebabbar, the temple of the god Šamaš of Sippar, which Nebuchadnezzar (II), king of Babylon, a king of the past, had removed and whose original foundation(s) he did not reach, he (re)built that Ebabbar (anyway) and gave (it) to the god Šamaš, his lord. In (only) fifty-two years, the walls of that temple buckled and became old. |
| Obverse Column i [8:15] i 99–i 1515 | (As for) me, Nabonidus, the king of Babylon who provides for Esagil and Ezida, during my legitimate reign that the gods Sîn and Šamaš love, I removed that Ebabbar and dug pits in it. I found its original foundation(s) that Sargon (of Agade), a king of the past, had made, and I laid its foundations (precisely) on the foundation(s) that Sargon had made, not (even) a fingerbreadth outside or inside (of them), and (thereby) secured its brickwork. |
| Obverse Column i [15:19] i 1616–i 1919 | I had immense beams of cedar, (which were) grown on Mount Amanus, stretched out [for] its roof. I had [doors] of white cedar, whose scent is sweet, clad with pure silver and bright copper and installed at each of its gates. |
| Obverse Column i [19:22] i 2020–i 2222 | I completed the construction of that Ebabbar and made (it) shine like daylight. For the preservation of my life (and) to overwhelm my enem(ies), I indeed gave (it) to the god Šamaš, my lord. |
| Obverse Column i [22:31] i 2323–i 3131 | O Šamaš, great lord, may good things about Esagil, Ezida, Ekišnugal, Ebabbar, Eanna, (and) Eulmaš, the residence(s) of your great divinity, be placed on your lips daily (and) without ceasing in the presence of the god Sîn, the father who engendered you. May their foundations be as firm as (those of) the heavens. Moreover, have reverence for the god Sîn, lord of the gods and goddesses, placed from the heavens (in) the hearts of his (Nabonidus’) people so that they do not commit a(ny) sin. May their foundations be firm. |
| Obverse Column i [31:36] i 3232–i 3636 | (As for) me, Nabonidus, the king of Babylon who reveres your great divinity, may I be sated with happiness in life. Moreover, with regard to Belshazzar, (my) first-born son, my own offspring, prolong his days. May he not commit a(ny) sin. |
| Obverse Column i [36:37] i 3737–i 3737 | That which is (written) upon on a monument from Sippar. |
| Obverse Column i [37:48] i 3838–i 4848 | (With regard to) Ebabbar, the temple of the god Šamaš of Larsa — which in distant days the god Sîn, king of the gods, lord of the gods and goddess(es) who reside in heaven and on earth, had become angry with the city and that temple and over which massive sand dune(s) were heaped so that its cellas could not be seen — during the reign of Nebuchadnezzar (II), king of Babylon, a king of the past who came before me, son of Nabopolassar, king of Babylon, by the command of the gods Sîn and Šamaš, his lords, the four winds, the great storms, rose up (and) the sand dune(s) that were covering the city and that temple were removed. |
| Obverse Column i [48:58] i 4949–i 5858 | He (Nebuchadnezzar) dug pits and saw the foundation(s) of Ebabbar that Burna-Buriaš, a former king who had come before him, had made and (then) he laid the (new) foundation(s) of that Ebabbar (precisely) on the foundation(s) of Burna-Buriaš, not (even) a fingerbreadth outside or inside (of them). For the residence of the god Šamaš, the great lord, and the goddess Aya, his beloved bride, he built the temple and completed its construction. He made the god Šamaš, the great lord, take up residence inside it. |
| Obverse Column i [58:63] i 5959–i 6363 | (As for) me, Nabonidus, the king of Babylon who provides for Esagil and Ezida — now, during the tenth year of my legitimate reign, which the gods Sîn and Šamaš love, the god Šamaš, the great lord, remembered his original residence. |
| Obverse Column i [63:66] i 6464–i 6666 | In dream(s) that I had seen and that the people had seen about me, with regard to the original foundation(s) of that Ebabbar, he (Šamaš) commissioned me to restore Ebabbar, the seat of his happiness, to its (original) place. |
| Obverse Column i [66:78] i 6767– | I discovered the upper facing of the ziggurat and (then) I had many people mustered. I dug up the environs of that ziggurat, on the right (and) left, before and behind (it), and I (eventually) found (the original) Ebabbar, as far as its perimeter. I discovered inside it an inscription of Ḫammu-rāpi, a king of the past who came before me, <who> for the god Šamaš had built Ebabbar and the ziggurat (precisely) on the original foundation(s) 700 years before Burna-Buriaš. Then, my heart was happy (and) my face beamed. |
| Obverse Column ii [6:10] ii 77–ii 1010 | I laid the foundations of Ebabbar (precisely) on the foundation(s) of Ḫammu-rāpi, a king of the past, not (even) a fingerbreadth outside or inside (of them), and (thereby) secured its brickwork. I built Ebabbar anew and completed its construction. |
| Obverse Column ii [10:13] ii 1111–ii 1313 | I had immense beams of cedar, (which were) grown on Mount Amanus, stretched out for its roof. I had doors of white cedar, whose scent is sweet, installed at each of its gates. |
| Obverse Column ii [13:15] ii 1414–ii 1515 | I (re)built that temple and made (it) shine like daylight. For the preservation of my life (and) to overwhelm my enem(ies), I indeed built (it) for the god Šamaš, the great lord, my lord. |
| Obverse Column ii [15:22] ii 1616–ii 2222 | O Šamaš, great lord, may good things about Esagil, Ezida, Ekišnugal, Ebabbar, Eanna, (and) Eulmaš, the residence(s) of your great divinity, be placed on your lips daily, at sunrise and sunset, (and) without ceasing, in the presence of the god Sîn, [the fath]er who engendered you. May their foundations be as firm as (those of) the heavens. |
| Obverse Column ii [22:26] ii 2323–ii 2626 | (As for) me, Nabonidus, the king of Babylon who reveres your great divinity, may I be sated with happiness in life. Moreover, with regard to Belshazzar, (my) first-born son, my own offspring, prolong his days. May he not commit a(ny) sin. |
| Obverse Column ii [26:27] ii 2727–ii 2727 | That which is (written) upon on a monument from Larsa. |
| Obverse Column ii [27:36] ii 2828–ii 3636 | (With regard to) the foundation(s) Eulmaš of Agade — which had not been seen from the time of Sargon, king of Babylon, and Narām-Sîn, his (grand)son, kings of the past, up to the reign of Nabonidus, king of Babylon — Kurigalzu, king of Babylon, a king of the past, had sought (them) out, but he did not reach the (original) foundation(s) of Eulmaš. Thus, he put down in writing, saying: “I searched day and night for the (original) foundation(s) of Eulmaš, but I did not reach (them).” |
| Obverse Column ii [36:44] ii 3737–ii 4444 | Esarhaddon, king of Assyria, and Ashurbanipal, his son, to whom the god Sîn, king of the gods, granted the totality of (all) lands, sought out the (original) foundation(s) of Eulmaš, but did not reach (them). They put down in writing, saying: “I sought out the (original) foundation(s) of that Eulmaš, but I did not reach (them). I cut down poplar(s) and maštû-tree(s) and (then) built a replacement Eulmaš and gave (it) to the goddess Ištar of Agade, great lady, my lady.” |
| Obverse Column ii [44:49] ii 4545–ii 4949 | Nebuchadnezzar (II), king of Babylon, son of Nabopolassar, a king of the past, mustered his numerous workmen, sought out the (original) foundation(s) of that Eulmaš day and night, although he had dug deep, he (still) did not reach the (original) foundation(s) of Eulmaš. |
| Obverse Column ii [49:56] ii 5050–ii 5656 | (But as for) me, Nabonidus, the king of Babylon who provides for Esagil and Ezida, during my legitimate reign, out of reverence for the goddess Ištar of Agade, my lady, I performed extispicies and the gods Šamaš and Adad answered me with a firm ‘yes,’ with regard to reaching the (original) foundation(s) of that Eulmaš, they placed a favorable omen in my extispicy. |
| Obverse Column ii [56:61] ii 5757–ii 6161 | I instructed many of my people to search for the (original) foundation(s) of that Eulmaš. For three years, I dug out the pits of Nebuchadnezzar (II), king of Babylon, and I sought (them) out on the right (and) left, before and behind (them), but I did not reach (the original foundations). |
| Obverse Column ii [61:68] ii 6262–ii 6868 | Thus, they spoke to me, saying: “We sought out those foundation(s), but we did not find (them). There was a downpour of heavy rain and we saw the gully that it had made.” Then, I said to them, saying: “Dig a pit in that gully until you find the (original) foundation(s) <in> that gully.” |
| Obverse Column ii [68:74] ii 6969–ii 7474 | They dug (in) that gully and they reached the (original) foundation(s) of Eulmaš of Narām-Sîn — a king of the past — the residence of the goddesses Ištar of Agade, Nanāya, (and) Anunītu, and the gods of (that) Eulmaš and they told me (about it). |
| Obverse Column ii [74:81] ii 7575– | My heart was happy (and) my face beamed. I laid these (new) foundation(s of Eulmaš), (those of its) throne platform(s and) dais(es), together with (those of) its two ziggurats, (precisely) on the (original) foundation(s) of that Eulmaš, not (even) a fingerbreadth outside or inside (of them), and (thereby) secured its brickwork. |
| Obverse Column iii [2:6] iii 33–iii 66 | I filled it in with an infill and placed it (the new temple) at ground level so that the (original) foundation(s) of Eulmaš will never be forgotten. I (re)built Eulmaš and completed its construction. |
| Obverse Column iii [6:9] iii 77–iii 99 | I had immense beams of cedar, (which were) grown on Mount Amanus, stretched out for its roof. I indeed had doors of white cedar, whose scent is sweet, erected in its gates. |
| Obverse Column iii [9:13] iii 1010–iii 1313 | I made that temple shine like daylight. For the preservation of my life (and) to overwhelm my enem(ies), I indeed built (it) for the goddess Ištar of Agade, the great lady, my lady. |
| Obverse Column iii [13:19] iii 1414–iii 1919 | O Ištar of Agade, great lady, my lady, may good things about Esagil, Ezida, Ekišnugal, Ebabbar, Eanna, (and) Eulmaš, the residence(s) of your great divinity, be placed on your lips in the presence of the god Sîn, the father who engendered you. May their foundations be as firm as (those of) the heavens. |
| Obverse Column iii [19:24] iii 2020–iii 2424 | (As for) me, Nabonidus, the king of Babylon who reveres your great divinity, may I be sated with happiness <in life>. With regard to Belshazzar, (my) first-born son, my own offspring, prolong his days. May he not commit a(ny) sin. |
| Obverse Column iii [24:25] iii 2525–iii 2525 | That which is (written) upon on a monument from Agade. |
| Obverse Column iii [25:29] iii 2626–iii 2929 | (With regard to) Eulmaš of Sippar-Anunītu — which the god Sîn, king of the gods, had become angry with the city and that temple and (then) he incited Sennacherib, king of Assyria, the bitter enemy, so that he (Sennacherib) turned the city and that temple into ruins — |
| Obverse Column iii [29:36] iii 3030–iii 3636 | Now, (as for) me, Nabonidus, the king of Babylon who provides for Esagil and Ezida — during my legitimate reign that gods Sîn and Šamaš love, the goddess Anunītu, the great lady, my lady, the one who resides in Eulmaš, by the command of the god Sîn, king of the gods, the father who engendered her, became reconciled with the city and that temple. In a dream during the night, she made me see a dream regarding the (re)building of Eulmaš. |
| Obverse Column iii [36:41] iii 3737–iii 4141 | My heart was happy (and) my face beamed. I had many workmen mustered. I dug out the foundation(s) of that Eulmaš and I found an image (with) an inscription of Šagarakti-Šuriaš, king of Babylon, a king of the past, in that pit. |
| Obverse Column iii [41:45] iii 4242–iii 4545 | This is what his inscription written over the image says: “Šagarakti-Šuriaš, true shepherd, the attentive prince who is the favorite of the god Šamaš and the goddess Anunītu, am I.” |
| Obverse Column iii [45:57] iii 4646–iii 5757 | “When the god Šamaš and the goddess Anunītu called (my) name for ruling over the land (and) placed the lead-rope of all of the people in my hands — at that time, I tore down the wall(s) of Ebabbar, the temple of the god Šamaš of Sippar, my lord, and Eulmaš, the temple of the goddess Anunītu of Sippar-Anunītu, my lady, whose wall(s) had buckled owing to the long time (that had elapsed) since (the time of) Sabûm. I opened up their foundation pits (and) removed their earth. I kept their dais(es) safe (and) kept their ground plans intact. I had their foundation pits filled in (and) I returned the earth from outside. I made their wall(s) shine in their (original) places, (and) made their structure(s) larger than before.” |
| Obverse Column iii [57:62] iii 5858–iii 6262 | On account of this, O Šamaš and Anunītu, may your heart(s) be happy with my precious deeds so that my days are long. May they renew (my) life and grant me day(s) of joy, month(s) of delight, (and) years of abundance. May they command for me true and just decision(s). May they always allow peace to exist.” |
| Obverse Column iii [62:64] iii 6363–iii 6464 | This is (the wording of) the inscription of Šagarakti-Šuriaš, king of Babylon, a king of the past who had built Eulmaš of Sippar-Anunītu. |
| Obverse Column iii [64:69] iii 6565–iii 6969 | I discovered its original foundation(s) and (then) I laid its foundations (precisely) on the original foundation(s), not (even) a fingerbreadth outside or inside (of them), and (thereby) secured its brickwork. (As for) Eulmaš, I completed its construction and made (it) shine like daylight. For the preservation of my life (and) to overwhelm my enem(ies), I indeed built (it) for the goddess Anunītu, the great lady, my lady. |
| Obverse Column iii [69:74] iii 7070–iii 7474 | O Anunītu, great lady, may good things about Esagil, Ezida, Ekišnugal, Ebabbar, Eanna, (and) Eulmaš, the residence(s) of your great divinity, be placed on your lips in the presence of the god Sîn, the father who engendered you. May their foundations be as firm as (those of) the heavens. Moreover, have reverence for the god Sîn, lord of the gods and goddesses, placed from the heavens (in) the hearts of his (Nabonidus’) people so that they do not commit a(ny) sin. May their foundations be firm. |
| Obverse Column iii [74:77] iii 7575–iii 7777 | (As for) me, Nabonidus, the king of Babylon who reveres your great divinity, may I enjoy happiness in life. Moreover, with regard to Belshazzar, (my) first-born son, my own offspring, prolong his days. May he not commit a(ny) sin. |
| Obverse Column iii [77:78] iii 7878–iii 7878 | That which is (written) upon on a monument from Sippar-Anunītu. |
| Obverse Column iii [78:81] iii 7979–iii 8181 | (These are) the deed(s) of the Sîn, lord of the gods and goddesses who reside in heaven and on earth, that I had written on monuments of stone so that people of a later generation can hear (about them). |
