| Obverse [0:4] 11–44 | Shalmaneser, appointee of the god Enlil, vice-regent of Aššur, son of Adad-nārārī (I), vice-regent of Aššur, son of Arik-dīn-ili (who was) also vice-regent of Aššur: |
| Obverse [4:15] 55–1515 | At that time the palace complex which Aššur-nārārī (I), vice-regent of Aššur, son of Išme-Dagan (II) (who was) also vice-regent of Aššur, my forefather, had previously built — the room [...] ... of that palace had become dilapidated. I cleared away their debris (and) rebuilt (them) from top to bottom. I deposited my monumental inscriptions. |
| Obverse [15:21] 1616–2121 | In the future may a [later] prince, [when those ... become dilapidated], restore [the ruins] (and) may he return my monumental inscriptions to their places. (Then) the god Aššur will listen to his prayers. |
| Obverse [21:27] 2222–2727 | As for the one who removes my inscriptions and my name: May Aššur, my lord, overthrow his sovereignty (and) afflict his land with want. |
| Obverse [27:29] 2828–2929 | Month of the god Sin, tenth day, eponymy of Shalmaneser. |
