| Obverse [0:3] 11–33 | Adad-nārārī, appointee of the god Enlil, vice-regent of Aššur, son of Arik-dīn-ili, appointee of the god Enlil, vice-regent of Aššur, son of Enlil-nārārī, (who was) also appointee of the god Enlil (and) vice-regent of Aššur: |
| Obverse [3:17] 44–1717 | At that time the wall of Inner City had become dilapidated — the wall which previously my fathers, the kings who preceded me, had built (and) which is opposite the great new ziggurrat of the god Aššur, my lord, which Arik-dīn-ili, my father, had built. I cleared away its debris down to the foundation pit. I restored it, making (it) ten bricks thick. I rebuilt (it) from top to bottom. I deposited my monumental inscriptions and my clay inscriptions. |
| Obverse [17:25] 1818–2525 | In the future may a later prince, when that wall becomes dilapidated and he restores (it), restore as I did. May he return my inscribed name, my monumental inscriptions, and my clay inscriptions to their places. (Then) the god Aššur will listen to his prayers. |
| Obverse [25:38] 2626–3838 | He who erases my inscribed name and writes his (own) name or discards my monumental inscriptions: May the god Aššur, my lord, overthrow his sovereignty; may he slay him, his people, and his seed and may he not stand firm before his enemy. May the goddess Ištar, (my) mistress, bring about the defeat of his land. May the god Adad strike his land with terrible lightning (and) afflict his land with want. |
| Obverse [38:40] 3939–4040 | Month of Ṣippu, fourteenth day, eponymy of Aššur-ēriš, son of Abattu. |
