| Obverse [0:3] 11–33 | Aššur-bēl-nišē[šu], vice-regent of the god Aššur, son of Aššur-nārārī (II), (who was) also vice-regent of the god Aššur: |
| Obverse [3:10] 44–1010 | For his life and the [well-being] of his city the great wall of New City which Puzur-Aššur III, the prince my forefather, had built — next to that wall I built a new wall. I applied a facing to all of it from the great wall of Inner City as far as the River (Tigris). I built (it) from top to bottom and deposited my clay cone. |
| Obverse [10:15] 1111–1515 | The gods Aššur and Adad will listen to the prayers of a later prince when that wall becomes dilapidated and he rebuilds (it). May (the same prince) restore my clay cone to its place. |
