| Obverse [0:6] 11–66 | Tukultī-Ninurta, king of the universe, strong king, king of Assyria, son of Shalmaneser (I) (who was) also king of Assyria: |
| Obverse [6:26] 77–2626 | At that time the temple of the Assyrian Ištar, my mistress, which Ilu-šumma, my forefather, the prince, had previously built — that temple had become dilapidated and I cleared away its debris. I changed its site. As an addition I constructed the room of the šuḫuru and the towers. I established a lofty dais for the abode of the goddess Ištar, my mistress. I built (that temple) from top to bottom. |
