| Obverse [0:3] 11–33 | Adad-nārārī, appointee of the god Enlil, vice-regent of the god Aššur, son of Arik-dīn-ili, appointee of the god Enlil, vice-regent of the god Aššur, son of Enlil-nārārī (who was) also appointee of the god Enlil (and) vice-regent of the god Aššur: |
| Obverse [3:12] 44–1212 | At that time the storehouses of the Gate of Anu and Adad, my lords, and their [doors], which had been built previously, had become dilapidated. I rebuilt the storehouses from top to bottom. I made new, high, double doors of fir, fastened (them) with bronze bands, (and) installed (them) for eternity in the Gate of Anu and Adad, my lords. |
| Obverse [12:18] 1313–1818 | In the future may a later prince, when the storehouses (and) their doors become dilapidated and he restores (them), rebuild as I did. May he restore my inscribed name to its place. (Then) the gods Aššur, Anu, and Adad [will listen] to his prayers. |
| Obverse [18:29] 1919–2929 | He who removes my inscription and my name, may the gods Aššur, Anu, (and) Adad, the great gods, my allies, who decide in my favor, overthrow his sovereignty. May they destroy his name (and) his seed from the land. May the dispersal of his land, the destruction of his people and his heirs be decreed by their weighty edict. May the god Adad strike his land with terrible lightning (and) afflict his land with want. |
