| Obverse [0:9] 3333–4141 | At that time the palace of my city, Aššur, which Aššur-nādin-ahhē (II), choicest among my forefathers, a king who preceded me, had previously built — the wall at the top of the door of the chapel which is opposite the terrace (and) which is within that palace, within which the dais of the god Aššur, my lord, was built and annually the god Aššur, my lord, proceeds to that dais to take up residence — that wall had become dilapidated. I removed its debris, renovated, restored it, and deposited my monumental inscription. |
| Obverse [9:13] 4242–4545 | In the future may a later prince, when that wall becomes old and dilapidated, restore it. May he restore my inscribed name and my monumental inscription to its place. (Then) the god Aššur will listen to his prayers. |
| Obverse [13:14] 7272–7272 | Month of Kalmartu, twentieth day, eponymy of Ša-Adad-nīnu. |
