| Obverse [0:17] 11–1717 | [Tukultī-Nin]urta, king of the universe, [strong king, king of] Assyria, [king of kings], lord of lords, [king of the four quarters], conqueror of [the rebellious] — those who do not submit to him (and) [who are hostile] to the god Aššur —, crusher of [the lands of the Uqu]manu [and Papḫu] — difficult mountain (regions) —, [defeater of the princes] of the Qutu [as far as the land Me]ḫru, disperser of [the forces of the land of] the Šubaru [in their entirety] together with the remote [lands Na]iri [as far as] the border of Makan, [capturer of] the four quarters above [and below]; son of Shalmaneser (I), [king of Assyria], son of Adad-nārārī (I) (who was) also [king of Assyria]: |
| Obverse [17:36] 1818–3636 | At that time I delineated [in the midst] of my city, Aššur, (the region which stretches) [from] the ziggurrat of the god Adad [my lord] to the Craftsman's Gate, [on the] north [side, extensive] house-plots, far-flung regions, (and) much terrain. Eighty mušaru down its foundation pit I reached bedrock. [...] I erected ... its sanctuary with limestone [and bricks]. I made its foundation as strong [as] the base of a mountain. (Thus) [I built] (as a place for the exercise) of my rule Elugalumunkurkurra, [a palace], my royal residence [and rooms] for all the [great] gods. I constructed (it) from top [to bottom and] deposited my [monumental inscriptions]. |
