| Obverse [0:8] 2424–3131 | The facing (of the quay wall) which faces the River (Tigris) from the entrance of the upper city, at the Ea-šarru Gate, to the entrance of the lower city, at the Tigris Gate, which through the (action of the) water had become dilapidated and whose limestone and baked brick the flood had eroded away: I restored that facing (of the quay wall) with bitumen and baked brick (and) made it the thickness of four and one half bricks. I faced the back of it with limestone and mortar from the city Ubasē and deposited my monumental inscription. |
| Obverse [8:13] 3232–3636 | In the future may a later prince, when that facing becomes old and dilapidated, repair it. May he restore my inscribed name to its place. (Then) the god Aššur will listen to his prayers. |
| Obverse [13:15] 6363–6464 | Month of Ṣippu, ...th day, eponymy of Ilī-ṭārissina. |
