| Obverse [0:4] 11–44 | Adad-nārārī, king of the universe, strong king, king of Assyria, son of Arik-dīn-ili, king of Assyria, son of Enlil-nārārī, (who was) also king of Assyria: |
| Obverse [4:14] 55–1414 | The facing (of the quay wall) which faces the River (Tigris), which through the (action of the) water had become dilapidated and the flood had eroded away its limestone and baked brick: 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 bitumen mortar. [I deposited my monumental inscriptions]. |
| Obverse [14:22] 1515–2222 | May a later prince, when that facing becomes dilapidated and eroded by flood, restore (and) reface (it). May he restore my monumental inscriptions and my clay inscriptions to their places. (Then) the gods Aššur and Adad will listen to his prayers. |
| Obverse [22:33] 2323–3333 | (As for) the one who alters my monumental inscriptions and my name: May the god Aššur, my lord, overthrow his sovereignty. May the god Adad, my lord, strike his land with terrible lightning (and) afflict his land with want. May he kill him, his people, and his seed. May he not stand firm before his enemy and may he (Adad) make his land (look) like ruin hills (created by) the deluge. |
| Obverse [33:36] 3434–3636 | Month of the god Bēlat-ekallim, thirteenth day, eponymy of Aššur-ēriš. |
