Obverse Column i [0:14] i 1i 1–i 1414God Aššur, great lord, who properly administers all the gods, grantor of scepter and crown, sustainer of sovereignty; god Enlil, lord, king of all the Anunnakū gods, father of the gods, lord of the lands; (i 5) god Sîn, wise one, lord of the lunar disk, lofty divine crescent; god Šamaš, judge of heaven (and) underworld, who espies the enemy's treachery, who exposes the wicked; god Adad, hero, who storms over hostile regions, (i 10) mountains, (and) seas; god Ninurta, valiant one, slayer of criminal and foe, fulfiller of hearts' desires; goddess Ištar, foremost among the gods, mistress of tumult, who adorns battles;
Obverse Column i [14:27] i 1515–i 2727Great gods, managers of heaven (and) underworld, whose attack means conflict and strife, who make great the sovereignty of Tiglath-pileser, beloved prince, your select one, attentive shepherd, (i 20) whom you chose in the steadfastness of your hearts; upon him you set the exalted crown, you grandly established him for sovereignty over the land of the god Enlil, to him you granted leadership, supremacy, (and) valor, you pronounced forever his destiny of dominion (i 25) as powerful and (the destiny) of his priestly progeny for service in Eḫursagkurkurra;
Obverse Column i [27:45] i 2828–i 4545Tiglath-pileser, strong king, unrivalled king of the universe, king of the four quarters, (i 30) king of all princes, lord of lords, chief herdsman, king of kings, attentive purification priest, to whom by command of the god Šamaš the holy scepter was given and who had complete authority over the people, subjects of the god Enlil, faithful shepherd, whose name (i 35) was called over the princes, exalted bishop, whose weapons the god Aššur has sharpened and whose name he has pronounced eternally for control of the four quarters, capturer of distant districts to borders (i 40) above and below, radiant day whose brilliance overwhelms the regions, splendid flame which covers the hostile land like a rain storm and, by the command of the god Enlil, having no rival defeats the enemy of the god Aššur;
Obverse Column i [45:61] i 4646–i 6161The god Aššur (and) the great gods who magnify my sovereignty, who granted as my lot power and strength, commanded me to extend the border of their land. They placed in my hands their (i 50) mighty weapons, deluge in battle. I gained control over lands, mountains, towns, and princes who were hostile to Aššur and I subdued their districts. (i 55) I vied with 60 crowned heads and achieved victory over them in battle. I have neither rival in strife nor equal in conflict. I added territory to Assyria (and) people to its population. I extended the border of my land and ruled over all their lands.
Obverse Column i [61:88] i 6262–i 8888In my accession year: 20,000 Mušku with their five kings, who had held for 50 years the lands Alzu (i 65) and Purulumzu — bearers of tribute and tithe to the god Aššur, my lord — (the Mušku), whom no king had ever repelled in battle, being confident of their strength they came down (and) (i 70) captured the land Katmuḫu. With the support of the god Aššur, my lord, I put my chariotry and army in readiness (and), not waiting for my rear guard, I traversed the rough terrain of Mount Kašiiari. I fought with their 20,000 men-at-arms (i 75) and five kings in the land Katmuḫu. I brought about their defeat. Like a storm demon I piled up the corpses of their warriors on the battlefield (and) made their blood flow into the hollows (i 80) and plains of the mountains. I cut off their heads (and) stacked them like grain piles around their cities. I brought out their booty, property, (and) possessions without number. I took (i 85) the remaining 6,000 of their troops who had fled from my weapons (and) submitted to me and regarded them as people of my land.
Obverse Column i [88:130] i 8989–At that time I marched to the insubmissive land Katmuḫu which had withheld tribute and impost from the god Aššur, my lord. I conquered the entire land of Katmuḫu. I brought out their booty, property, (and) possessions. Their cities (ii 1) I burnt, razed, (and) destroyed. The remainder of the (inhabitants of the) land Katmuḫu, who had fled from my weapons (and) (ii 5) crossed over to the city Šereššu which is on the opposite bank of the Tigris, made that city their stronghold. Taking my chariots and warriors I hacked through the rough mountain range and difficult paths with copper picks and made a good way for the passage of (ii 10) my chariots and troops. I crossed the Tigris (and) conquered their fortified city, Šereššu. I spread out like grain heaps (the corpses of) their men-at-arms in the battle. I made (ii 15) their blood flow in the hollows and plains of the mountains. At that time I laid low like sheep, with the army of (ii 20) the land Katmuḫu, the army of the Papḫû which had come to the aid and assistance of the land Katmuḫu. I built up mounds with the corpses of their men-at-arms on mountain ledges. I allowed the River Nāme to carry the bodies of their warriors out to the Tigris. I captured in battle their king, (ii 25) Kili-Teshub, son of Kali-Teshub, who is called Errupi. I carried off his wives, his natural sons, his clan, 180 (ii 30) copper kettles, five bronze bath-tubs, together with their gods, gold and silver, the best of their property. I brought out their booty. I burnt, razed, (and) destroyed that city and its palace.
Obverse Column ii [35:57] ii 3636–ii 5757With regard to the city Urraṭinaš, their stronghold situated in the land Panaru, the terror, fear, (and) splendor of the god Aššur, my lord, overwhelmed them. To save (ii 40) their lives they took their gods (and) possessions and flew like birds to ledges on high mountains. Taking my chariotry and army I crossed the Tigris. Šadi-Tešub, son of Ḫattuḫu, king (ii 45) of the city Urraṭinaš, submitted to me in his own land. I took his natural sons and his family as hostages. He brought to me as tribute and tax 60 copper kettles, bronze vats, (ii 50) and large bronze bath-tubs, together with 120 men, cattle, and sheep. I accepted his (tribute), spared him (and) preserved his life. (ii 55) I imposed upon him forever the heavy yoke of my dominion. I completely conquered the extensive land Katmuḫu and subdued it.
Obverse Column ii [57:62] ii 5858–ii 6262At that time I donated to the god Aššur one bronze vat (and) one bronze bath-tub from the booty and tribute of the land Katmuḫu. I gave to the god Adad, who loves me, 60 copper kettles together with their gods.
Obverse Column ii [62:84] ii 6363–ii 8484With the onslaught of my fierce weapons by means of which the god Aššur, the lord, gave me strength and excellence I took my warriors trained for successful combat (ii 65) with thirty of my chariots escorting my aggressive shock troops. I marched to the land Išdiš (where) rebellious (and) insubmissive people (lived). (ii 70) Riding in my chariot when the way was smooth and going by foot when the way was rough, I passed through the rough terrain of mighty mountains. In Mount Aruma, a difficult area which was impassable for my chariots, I abandoned my chariotry. (ii 75) Taking the lead of my warriors I slithered victoriously with the aggressiveness of a viper over the perilous mountain ledges. I destroyed the land Išdiš (so that it looked) like ruin hills (created by) the deluge. Their warriors (ii 80) I laid low in battle like sheep. I carried off their booty, possessions, and property. I burned all their cities. I imposed upon them (the obligation to provide) hostages, tribute, and taxes.
Obverse Column ii [84:88] ii 8585–ii 8888Tiglath-pileser, valiant man, opener of remote regions in the mountains, subduer of the insubmissive, overwhelmer of all fierce (enemies):
Obverse Column ii [88:109] ii 8989–I conquered the rebellious and insubmissive Šubaru. I imposed the heavy yoke of my dominion upon the lands Alzu and Purulumzu which had abandoned (the practice of paying) tribute and tax so that annually they send tribute and tax (ii 95) into my presence at my city Aššur. As soon as with my valor, by means of which the god Aššur, my lord, had placed in my hand the strong weapon which subdues the insubmissive, (ii 100) he commanded me to extend the border of his land, 4,000 Kasku (and) Urumu, insubmissive troops of Ḫatti — who had seized by force (iii 1) the cities of the land Šubartu which were vassals of the god Aššur, my lord — heard of my coming to the land Šubartu. The splendor of my valor overwhelmed them and, fearing battle, they submitted to me. I took them, together with their property and 120 chariots (and) harnessed horses, and regarded them as people of my land.
Obverse Column iii [6:31] iii 77–iii 3131With my valorous onslaught I marched a second time to the land Katmuḫu. I conquered all their cities (and) (iii 10) carried off their booty, possessions, (and) property without number. I burnt, razed, (and) destroyed their cities. The remainder of their troops, which had taken fright at my fierce weapons and (iii 15) had been cowered by my strong and belligerent attack, took to secure heights in rough mountainous terrain in order to save their lives. I climbed up after them to the peaks of high mountains and perilous mountain ledges (iii 20) where a man could not walk. They waged war, combat, and battle with me (and) I brought about their defeat. (iii 25) Like a storm demon I piled up the corpses of their warriors on mountain ledges (and) made their blood flow into the hollows and plains of the mountains. I brought down their booty, possessions, (and) property from the heights of the mighty mountains. (Thus) I became lord of the entire land of Katmuḫu and added (it) to the borders of my land.
Obverse Column iii [31:34] iii 3232–iii 3434Tiglath-pileser, strong king, snare for the insubmissive, overwhelmer in battle with criminals:
Obverse Column iii [34:65] iii 3535–iii 6565With the exalted strength of the god Aššur, my lord, the god Aššur, (my) lord, (iii 40) commanded me to march to the land Ḫaria and the army of the extensive Papḫû in high mountains where no other king had ever gone. Putting my chariotry and army in readiness I took a rugged route between Mount Etnu and Mount Aia. In the high mountains, which thrust up like pointed daggers and which (iii 45) were impassable for my chariots, I put the chariots on (the soldiers') necks (and thereby) passed through the difficult mountain range. All of the Papḫû, their extensive army, joined together and aggressively (iii 50) they took up a position to wage war, combat, and battle in Mount Azu. I fought with them in rough mountainous terrain (and) brought about their defeat. I built up mounds with the bodies of their warriors in the plains of the mountain (and) made (iii 55) the blood of their warriors flow into the hollows and plains of the mountain. I stormed the cities which were on mountain ledges (and) conquered 25 cities of the land Ḫaria which lies at the foot of Mounts Aia, Šuira, Etnu, (iii 60) Šezzu, Šelgu, Arzanibiu, Urusu, and Anitku. I carried off their booty, possessions, (and) property. I burnt, razed, (and) destroyed their cities.
Obverse Column iii [65:72] iii 6666–iii 7272(The people of) the land Adauš were frightened by my strong belligerent attack and abandoned their territory. They flew like birds to ledges on high mountains. (But) the splendor of the god Aššur, my lord, overwhelmed them and they came back down and submitted to me. I imposed upon them tribute and impost.
Obverse Column iii [72:87] iii 7373–iii 8787I destroyed the lands Sarauš (and) Ammauš, which from ancient times (iii 75) had not known submission, (so that they looked) like ruin hills (created by) the deluge. I fought with their extensive army in Mount Aruma and brought about their defeat. (iii 80) I spread out like grain heaps the corpses of their men-at-arms on mountain ledges. I conquered their cities, took their gods, and brought out their booty, possessions, (and) property. I burnt, razed, (and) destroyed their cities (and) (iii 85) turned them into ruin hills. I imposed the heavy yoke of my dominion upon them (and) made them vassals of the god Aššur, my lord.
Obverse Column iii [87:91] iii 8888–iii 9191I conquered the rebellious and insubmissive lands of Isua (and) Daria. I imposed upon them tribute and impost (and) made them vassals of the god Aššur, my lord.
Obverse Column iii [91:108] iii 9292–With my prowess, with which I conquered enemies, I took my chariotry and army (and) (iii 95) crossed the Lower Zab. I conquered the lands Murattaš (and) Saradauš which are within the rough terrain of Mounts Asaniu (and) Aṭuma. I butchered their troops like sheep. I conquered (iii 100) their fortified city Murattaš within the first third of the day after sunrise. I brought out their gods, their possessions, their property, 120 copper kettles, (iv 1) 30 talents of copper bars, the outstanding property of their palace, their booty. I burnt, razed, (and) destroyed that city.
Obverse Column iv [4:6] iv 55–iv 66At that time I gave that copper to the god Adad, who loves me.
Obverse Column iv [6:31] iv 77–iv 3131With the exalted power of the god Aššur, my lord, I marched to the land Sugu of the land Ḫabḫu, (people) insubmissive to the god Aššur, my lord. I fought on foot with 6,000 of (iv 10) their troops from the lands Ḫimu, Lūḫu, Arrirgu, Alamun, Nimnu, and all of the extensive Papḫû. (I fought) (iv 15) with all those lands in Mount Ḫiriḫu, rough terrain which thrust up like pointed daggers. I brought about their defeat. I built up mounds with the (corpses of) their men-at-arms on mountain ledges (and) with (iv 20) their blood I dyed Mount Ḫiriḫu red like wool. I conquered the entire land of Sugu. I brought out 25 of their gods, their booty, their possessions, (and) their property. I burnt, razed, (and) destroyed (iv 25) all of their cities. The remainder of their troops submitted to me (and) I had mercy on them. I imposed upon them tribute and impost (and) regarded them as vassals of the god Aššur, my lord.
Obverse Column iv [31:39] iv 3232–iv 3939At that time I donated the 25 gods of those lands, my own booty which I had taken, to be door-keepers of the temple of the goddess Ninlil, beloved chief spouse of the god Aššur, my lord, (the temple of) the gods Anu (and) Adad, (the temple of) the Assyrian Ištar, the temples of my city, Aššur, and the goddesses of my land.
Obverse Column iv [39:42] iv 4040–iv 4242Tiglath-pileser, strong king, conqueror of enemy regions, rival of all kings:
Obverse Column iv [42:123] iv 4343–At that time, with the exalted might of the god Aššur, my lord, with the firm approval (through divination) (iv 45) of the god Šamaš, the warrior, with the support of the great gods with which I have ruled properly in the four quarters and have no rival in battle nor equal in conflict, at the command of the god Aššur, (my) lord, I marched to the lands Nairi whose distant kings, (iv 50) on the shore of the Upper Sea in the west, had not known submission. I pushed through rugged paths and perilous passes, the interior of which (iv 55) no king had previously known, blocked trails (and) unopened remote regions. Mounts Elama, Amadānu, Elḫiš, Šerabeli, Tarḫuna, (iv 60) Terkaḫuli, Kiṣra, Tarḫanabe, Elula, Ḫaštarae, Šaḫišara, Ubera, Miliadruni, Šulianzi, Nubanāše, (iv 65) and Šēše, 16 mighty mountains — (I rode) my chariot over smooth terrain and I hacked out the rough terrain with copper picks. I cut down urumu-trees which grow in the mountains, (iv 70) (thereby) constructed good bridges for the passage of my chariots and army, (and) crossed the Euphrates. The king of the land Tummu, the king of the land Tunubu, the king of the land Tualu, the king of the land Dardaru, the king of the land Uzula, the king of the land Unzamunu, the king of the land Andiabu, (iv 75) the king of the land Piladarnu, the king of the land Adurginu, the king of the land Kulibarzinu, the king of the land Šinibirnu, the king of the land Ḫimua, the king of the land Paiteru, the king of the land Uiram, the king of the land Šururia, the king of the land Abaenu, the king of the land Adaenu, (iv 80) the king of the land Kirinu, the king of the land Albaia, the king of the land Ugina, the king of the land Nazabia, the king of the land Abarsiunu, the king of the land Daiēnu, altogether 23 kings of the lands Nairi (iv 85) combined their chariotry and army in their lands (and) advanced to wage war, strife, and combat. With the onslaught of my fierce weapons I approached them (and) destroyed their extensive army (iv 90) like a storm of the god Adad. I laid out like grain heaps the corpses of their warriors in the open country, the plains of the mountains, and the environs of their cities. I seized (iv 95) in battle 120 of their chariots with equipment (and) 60 kings of the lands Nairi, including those who had come to their aid, (iv 100) I chased at arrow point as far as the Upper Sea. I conquered their great towns (and) brought out (v 1) their booty, possessions, (and) property. I burnt, razed, (and) destroyed their cities (and) turned them into ruin hills. I brought back (v 5) extensive herds of horses, mules, (and) donkeys — the livestock of their pastures — without number. I captured all of the kings of the lands Nairi alive. I had mercy (v 10) on those kings and spared their lives. I released them from their bonds and fetters in the presence of the god Šamaš, my lord, and made them swear by my (v 15) great gods an oath of eternal vassaldom. I took their natural, royal, sons as hostages. I imposed upon them a tribute of 1,200 horses (and) 2,000 cattle. I allowed them to return to their lands.
Obverse Column v [21:32] v 2222–v 3232I brought Sēni, king of the land Daiēnu, who had not been submissive to the god Aššur, my lord, in bonds and fetters to my city Aššur. I had mercy on him and let him leave my city Aššur alive in order to proclaim the glory of the great gods. (Thus) I became lord of the vast lands of Nairi in their entirety. Indeed all their kings I subdued.
Obverse Column v [32:41] v 3333–v 4141In the course of that campaign I marched to the rebellious and insubmissive city Milidia of the land Ḫanigalbat. Frightened by my strong belligerent attack they submitted to me and I had mercy on them. I did not storm that city (but) I took hostages. I imposed upon them as uninterrupted annual tribute one homer of lead ore.
Obverse Column v [41:43] v 4242–v 4343Tiglath-pileser, darting (and) furious flame, deluge in battle:
Obverse Column v [43:63] v 4444–v 6363With the support of the god Aššur, my lord, I took my chariots and warriors (and) set off for the desert. I marched against the Aḫlamû-Arameans, enemies of the god Aššur, my lord. (v 50) I plundered from the edge of the land Sūḫu to the city Carchemish of the land Ḫatti in a single day. I massacred them (and) carried back their booty, possessions, and goods without number. The rest of their troops, (v 55) who fled from the weapons of the god Aššur, my lord, crossed the Euphrates. I crossed the Euphrates after them on rafts (made of inflated) goatskins. (v 60) I conquered six of their cities at the foot of Mount Bešri, burnt, razed, (and) destroyed (them, and) brought their booty, possessions, and goods to my city Aššur.
Obverse Column v [63:66] v 6464–v 6666Tiglath-pileser, who treads upon dangerous people, who lays low the insubmissive, pacifier of all the rebellious:
Obverse Column v [66:81] v 6767–v 8181The god Aššur, the lord, commanded me to conquer the land Muṣri and I took the way between Mounts Elamuni, Tala, and Ḫarusa. (v 70) I conquered all the land Muṣri (and) laid low their warriors. I burnt, razed, (and) destroyed their cities. The troops of the Qumānu (v 75) came to the aid of the land Muṣri. I fought with them in the mountains, (and) brought about their defeat. I confinedthem to one city, the city Arinu which is at the foot of Mount Aisa. They submitted to me (and) I spared that city. I imposed upon them hostages, tribute, (and) impost.
Obverse Column v [81:98] v 8282–v 9898At that time all the Qumānu, who had agreed to assist the land Muṣri, mustered their entire territories and took up a position (v 85) to do battle and conflict. With the onslaught of my fierce weapons I fought with their 20,000 extensive troops at Mount Tala (and) brought about their defeat. (v 90) I broke up their mighty force (and) pursued them in their retreat as far as Mount Ḫarusa which is before the land Muṣri. I spread out the corpses of their warriors on mountain ledges like sheep (and) made (v 95) their blood flow into the hollows and plains of the mountains. I conquered their great towns, burnt, razed, (and) destroyed (them) and turned (them) into ruin hills.
Obverse Column v [98:122] v 9999–I overwhelmed the city Ḫunusu, their fortified city, (so that it looked) like a ruin hill (created by) the deluge. Violently I fought (vi 1) with their mighty army in city and mountain (and) brought about their defeat. (vi 5) I laid low their men-at-arms in the mountains like sheep. Like lambs I cut off their heads (and) made their blood flow into the hollows and plains of the mountains. (Thus) I conquered that city. I took their gods (and) (vi 10) brought out their booty, possessions, (and) property. I burnt the city. The three walls which were constructed with baked brick and the entire city I razed, destroyed, turned into a ruin hill and (vi 15) strewed ṣīpu-stones over it. I made bronze lightning bolts (and) inscribed on them (a description of) the conquest of the lands which with the god Aššur, my lord, I conquered (and a warning) not to occupy that city and not to rebuild its wall. On that (site) I built a house of baked brick and put inside those bronze lightning bolts.
Obverse Column vi [21:38] vi 2222–vi 3838With the support of the god Aššur, my lord, I took my chariotry and warriors (and) surrounded the city Kipšuna, their royal city. The king of the land of the Qumānu (vi 25) was frightened of my strong and belligerent attack and submitted to me. I spared that city. I ordered him to destroy his great wall and towers of baked brick. (vi 30) He destroyed from top to bottom and turned it into a ruin hill. He deported (and) I received from him 300 families, rebels in his midst who were not submissive to the god Aššur, my lord. I took hostages from him. I imposed upon him a tribute and impost (vi 35) which was larger than before. I conquered completely the extensive Qumānu (and) subdued (them).
Obverse Column vi [38:48] vi 3939–vi 4848Altogether I conquered 42 lands and their rulers from the other side of the Lower Zab in distant mountainous regions to the other side of the Euphrates, people of Ḫatti, and the Upper Sea in the west — from my accession year to my fifth regnal year. I subdued them to one authority, took hostages from them, (and) imposed upon them tribute and impost.
Obverse Column vi [48:54] vi 4949–vi 5454(This) is apart from the numerous foreign campaigns which do not appear in the (account of) my victories (and) upon which I pursued my enemies by chariot in favorable terrain and on foot in rough terrain. I prevented the enemies from setting foot in my land.
Obverse Column vi [54:57] vi 5555–vi 5757Tiglath-pileser, valiant man, armed with the unrivalled bow, expert in the hunt:
Obverse Column vi [57:69] vi 5858–vi 6969The gods Ninurta and Nergal gave me their fierce weapons and their exalted bow for my lordly arms. By the command of the god Ninurta, who loves me, with my strong bow, iron arrowheads, and sharp arrows, I slew four extraordinarily strong wild virile bulls in the desert, in the land Mittani, and at the city Araziqu which is before the land Ḫatti. I brought their hides and horns to my city Aššur.
Obverse Column vi [69:75] vi 7070–vi 7575I killed ten strong bull elephants in the land Ḫarrān and the region of the River Ḫabur (and) four live elephants I captured. I brought the hides and tusks (of the dead elephants) with the live elephants to my city Aššur.
Obverse Column vi [75:84] vi 7676–vi 8484By the command of the god Ninurta, who loves me, I killed on foot 120 lions with my wildly outstanding assault. In addition, 800 lions I felled from my light chariot. I have brought down every kind of wild beast (lit. "livestock of the god Sumuqan") and winged bird of the heavens whenever I have shot an arrow.
Obverse Column vi [84:122] vi 8585–After I had gained complete dominion over the enemies of the god Aššur, I rebuilt (and) (vi 90) completed the dilapidated (portions of) the temple of the Assyrian Ištar, my mistress, the temple of the god Amurru, the temple of the god Bel-labira, the temple of the Ten Gods, the temples of the gods of my city Aššur. I put in place the entrances to their temples (and) brought the great gods, my lords, inside. (Thus) did I please their divinity. I rebuilt (and) completed the palaces, the royal residences (vi 95) of the great towns in the (various) districts of my entire land which since the time of my forefathers during hard years had been abandoned and had fallen into ruin and decay. I repaired (vi 100) the weakened fortifications of my land. I caused plows to be hitched up all over Assyria and (thereby) piled up more grain than my forefathers. I formed (vi 105) herds of horses, oxen, (and) asses from the booty I took when I gained dominion over lands (vii 1) with the support of the god Aššur, my lord. In addition I got control of (and) formed herds of (vii 5) aiālu-deer, aialu-deer, gazelles, (and) ibex which the gods Aššur and Ninurta, the gods who love me, had given me in the course of the hunt in high mountain ranges. I (vii 11) numbered them like flocks of sheep. I sacrificed yearly to the god Aššur, my lord, the young born to them as voluntary offerings together with my pure sacrifices.
Obverse Column vii [16:27] vii 1717–vii 2727I took cedar, box-tree, Kanish oak from the lands over which I had gained dominion — such trees which none among previous kings, my forefathers, had ever planted — and I planted (them) in the orchards of my land. I took rare orchard fruit which is not found in my land (and therewith) filled the orchards of Assyria.
Obverse Column vii [27:35] vii 2828–vii 3535I had in harness for the forces of my land more chariots and teams of horses than ever before. To Assyria I added land and to its people I added people. I brought contentment to my people (and) provided them with a secure abode.
Obverse Column vii [35:41] vii 3636–vii 4141Tiglath-pileser, exalted prince, the one whom the gods Aššur and Ninurta have continually guided wherever he wished (to go) and who pursued each and every one of the enemies of the god Aššur and laid low all the rebellious;
Obverse Column vii [41:44] vii 4242–vii 4444Son of Aššur-rēša-iši (I), strong king, conqueror of enemy lands, subduer of all fierce (enemies);
Obverse Column vii [44:48] vii 4545–vii 4848Grandson of Mutakkil-Nusku, whom the god Aššur, the great lord, chose through the selection of his steadfast heart and firmly appointed to the shepherdship of Assyria;
Obverse Column vii [48:54] vii 4949–vii 5454Legitimate heir of Aššur-dān (I), bearer of the holy scepter, commander of the subjects of the god Enlil, the one whose deeds and offerings are pleasing to the great gods, and who lived to a ripe old age;
Obverse Column vii [54:59] vii 5555–vii 5959Offspring of Ninurta-apil-ekur, martial sovereign, loved one of the god Aššur, whose wings were spread like an eagle's over his land and who faithfully tended the people of Assyria:
Obverse Column vii [59:70] vii 6060–vii 7070At that time the temple of the gods Anu and Adad, the great gods, my lords, which Šamšī-Adad (III), vice-regent of Aššur, son of Išme-Dagan (II) (who was) also vice-regent of the god Aššur, had previously built, (after) 641 years had passed it had become dilapidated and Aššur-dān (I), king of Assyria, son of Ninurta-apil-Ekur (who was) also king of Assyria, tore down this temple but did not rebuild (it) and for 60 years its foundation had not been relaid.
Obverse Column vii [70:114] vii 7171–vii 114114In my accession year the gods Anu and Adad, the great gods, my lords, who love my priesthood, (vii 75) commanded me to rebuild their shrine. I made bricks. I delineated this area, dug down to the bottom of its foundation pit, (and) laid its foundation upon bedrock. (vii 80) I piled up this entire area with bricks like an oven, making it 50 layers of brick deep. I laid thereon the limestone foundation of the temple of the gods Anu and Adad, the great gods, my lords. (vii 85) I rebuilt it from top to bottom and made it bigger than before. I constructed two large ziggurrats which were appropriate for their great divinity. I planned (and) laboriously rebuilt (and) completed (vii 90) the pure temple, the holy shrine, their joyful abode, their happy dwelling which stands out like the stars of heaven and which represents the choicest skills of the building trade. Its interior I decorated like the interior of heaven. (vii 100) I decorated its walls as splendidly as the brilliance of rising stars. I raised its towers and its ziggurrats to the sky and made fast its parapets with baked brick. I installed inside (vii 105) a conduit (suitable for the conduct) of the rites of their great divinity. I brought the gods Anu and Adad, the great gods, my lords, (vii 110) inside (and) set them on their exalted thrones. (Thus) did I please their great divinity.
Obverse Column viii [0:10] viii 1viii 1–viii 1010The ḫamru-temple of the god Adad, my lord — which Šamšī-Adad (III), vice-regent of Aššur, son of Išme-Dagan (AII) (who was) also vice-regent of the god Aššur, had built — was dilapidated and in ruins. I delineated its site (and) rebuilt it from top to bottom with baked brick. I adorned it and made it stronger than before. Inside I offered pure sacrifices to the god Adad, my lord.
Obverse Column viii [10:16] viii 1111–viii 1616At that time I transported obsidian, ḫaltu-stone, and hematite from the mountains of the lands Nairi, which I conquered with the support of the god Aššur, my lord. I deposited (them) in the ḫamru-temple of the god Adad, my lord, forever.
Obverse Column viii [16:38] viii 1717–viii 3838Because I made plans without ceasing and (viii 20) was not slack in the work (but) quickly completed the pure temple, the exalted shrine, for the abode of the gods Anu and Adad, the great gods, my lords, and (thereby) pleased their great divinity: may the gods Anu and Adad faithfully have mercy upon me, (viii 25) may they love my prayers, may they heed my fervent petitions, may they grant abundant rain and extraordinarily rich years during my reign; (viii 30) may they lead me about safely in battle and strife; may they subdue under me all enemy lands, rebellious mountain regions, and rulers hostile to me; (viii 35) may they pronounce a favorable blessing over me and my priestly progeny; and may they firmly place my priesthood in the presence of the god Aššur and their great divinity forever like a mountain.
Obverse Column viii [38:49] viii 3939–viii 4949I wrote on my monumental and clay inscriptions my heroic victories, my successful battles, (and) the suppression of the enemies (and) foes of the god Aššur which the gods Anu and Adad granted me. I deposited (them) in the temple of the gods Anu and Adad, (viii 45) the great gods, my lords, forever. In addition, the monumental inscriptions of Šamšī-Adad (III) my forefather I anointed with oil, made sacrifices, (and) returned them to their places.
Obverse Column viii [49:62] viii 5050–viii 6262In the future, in days to come, may a later prince, when the temple of the gods Anu and Adad, the great gods, my lords, and those ziggurrats become old and (viii 55) dilapidated, restore their weakened (portions). May he anoint with oil my monumental and clay inscriptions, make sacrifices, (and) return (them) to their places. His name let him write with mine. (Then) like me may the gods Anu and Adad, the great gods, my lords, guide him well in joy and success.
Obverse Column viii [62:73] viii 6363–viii 7373He who breaks (or) erases my monumental or clay inscriptions, throws (them) into water, burns (them), covers (them) with earth, secretly stores (them) in a Taboo House where they cannot be seen, (who) erases my inscribed name and writes his (own) name, or (who) conceives of anything injurious and puts it into effect to the disadvantage of my monumental inscriptions:
Obverse Column viii [73:88] viii 7474–viii 8888May the gods Anu and Adad, the great gods, my lords, glare at him angrily and inflict upon him an evil curse. May they overthrow his sovereignty. May they tear out the foundations of his royal throne. May they terminate his noble line. (viii 80) May they smash his weapons, bring about the defeat of his army, and make him sit in bonds before his enemies. May the god Adad strike his land with terrible lightning (and) inflict his land with (viii 85) distress, famine, want, (and) plague. May he command that he not live one day longer. May he destroy his name (and) his seed from the land.
Obverse Column viii [88:90] viii 8989–viii 9090Month of Kuzallu, twenty-eighth day, eponymy of Ina-ilīya-allak, chief cup-bearer (rabshakeh).
