| Obverse [0:4] 11–44 | 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 [4:32] 55–3232 | At that time the temple of the Assyrian Ištar, my mistress, which Ilu-šumma, vice-regent of Aššur, my forefather, son of Šalim-aḫum (who was) also vice-regent of Aššur, had previously built and completed — that temple became dilapidated and Sargon (I), vice-regent of Aššur, son of Ikūnum (who was) also vice-regent of Aššur, restored it; again it became dilapidated and Puzur-Aššur (III), vice-regent of Aššur, my forefather, son of Aššur-nārārī (I) (who was) also vice-regent of Aššur, restored it — that temple, its towers, the room of the šuḫūru of the courtyard, the storeroom of the goddess Ištar of the courtyard which is called the Inn of the Goddess Ištar’, and the room of the goddess Išḫara of the courtyard, had again become dilapidated. (At that time) I, 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, reconstructed the weakened (portions of) that temple, I ... I strengthened its foundation with limestone. I removed the weakened (parts), the beams of the room of the šuḫūru (together with) the supports and lashings as well as the beams of the storeroom of the goddess Ištar (and) installed new beams. (Thus) I restored it and deposited my monumental inscriptions. |
| Obverse [32:37] 3333–3737 | In the future may a later prince, when that temple becomes dilapidated and he restores (it), restore my monumental inscriptions and inscribed name to their places. (Then) Aššur will listen to his prayers. |
| Obverse [37:48] 3838–4848 | As for the one who removes my inscriptions and my name, may Aššur, my lord, overthrow his sovereignty; may he destroy his name (and) his seed from the land. 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. |

| Obverse [49:50] 49B49B–49B49B | (exs. 2, 5) Month of the goddess Bēlat-ekallim, tenth day, eponymy of Aššur-dammiq. |
