Obverse [0:4] 11–44Tukultī-Ninurta, king of the universe, king of Assyria, son of Shalmaneser (I), king of Assyria:
Obverse [4:17] 55–1717At that time the temple of the goddess Dinitu, my mistress, which Ilu-šumma, a king who preceded me, had built — that temple had become dilapidated and old. I cleared away its debris down to the bottom of the foundation pit. I rebuilt (it) from top to bottom (and) deposited my monumental inscription.
Obverse [17:21] 1818–2121May a later prince restore it (and) return my inscribed name to its place. (Then) Aššur will listen to his prayers.
