Obverse [0:5] 3737–4141At that time the ... of the city Taidu had become dilapidated and I removed its debris. I restored it. I rebuilt (it) from top to bottom and deposited my monumental inscriptions.
Obverse [5:9] 4242–4545In the future may a later prince, when that structure becomes old and dilapidated, restore it. May he restore my inscribed name to its place. (Then) [Aššur] will listen to his prayers.
Obverse [9:17] 4646–5353(As for) the one [who alters] my inscription and [my] name: May Aššur, my lord, [overthrow] his sovereignty. May the [goddess] Ištar, my mistress, bring about the defeat of [his land]. May he not stand firm before [his enemy]. May the god Adad [strike] his land [with] terrible [lightning (and) afflict] his land with want.
