| Obverse [0:26] 11–2626 | Tukultī-Ninurta, king of the universe, strong king, king of Assyria, conqueror of the rebellious — those who do not submit (to him and) who are hostile to the god Aššur—, defeater of all the unsubmissive rebels (of) the lands of the Uqumanu and Papḫu, crusher of the land Katmuḫu (and) the army of the Qutu — difficult mountain (regions) —, disperser of the forces of the land of the Šubaru in their entirety, overwhelmer of all the unsubmissive (of) the lands Alzu (and) Purulumzu, legitimate prince who marches about in the four quarters with the support of the god Aššur and the great gods and has neither successful opponent nor rival, capturer of enemy districts above and below, strong king, capable in battle, the one who took over the rule of all the lands Nairi and subdued the forty kings, their commanders, at his feet, (the one who) added the lands Azalzi (and) Šepardi to his territory, (the one who) brought about the defeat of Sumer and Akkad and (thereby) made manifest his power forever, (the one who) captured Kaštiliašu, king of the Kassites; son of Shalmaneser (I), king of Assyria; son of Adad-nārārī (I) (who was) also king of Assyria: |
| Obverse [26:35] 2727–3535 | At that time the rooms of my great palace on the east side of my city, Aššur, in front of the great ziggurrat of the god Aššur, my lord, which previously Shalmaneser (I), appointee of the god Enlil, vice-regent of Aššur, my father, had built, had become dilapidated and I removed its debris down to the bottom of the foundation pit. I completed it from top to bottom and deposited my monumental inscription. |
