Obverse [8:14] 99–1414Ninurta-kudurrī-uṣur, governor of the land of Sūḫu and the land of Mari, son of Šamaš-rēša-uṣur, governor of the land of Sūḫu and the land of Mari, descendant of Adad-nādin-zēri, governor of the land of Sūḫu and the land of Mari, distant descendant of Tunamissaḫ, the son of Ḫammu-rāpi, king of Babylon —
Obverse [14:22] 1515–2222The people of Anat who live in the city Anat (itself) revolted against the land of Sūḫu. They joined hands with the Assyrian and brought the Assyrian up to the city Anat. (However) he desecrated the city of Anat and its gods. He desecrated the fine garment of (the goddess) Anat, the ṣāriru-gold, the precious stones, and all the (other) things befitting her godhead. Then he cached her (statue) by itself in a hidden place.
Obverse [22:32] 2323–3232I, Ninurta-kudurrī-uṣur, governor of the land of Sūḫu and the land of Mari, the servant who reveres her great godhead, brought Anat out from (that) hidden place and [returned] (her) fine garment, [ṣār]iru-gold, and ... precious stones. [I] made her godhead complete (again) and caused her to reside in [...]. I (re-)established the regular [offerings (...) and] her [...] according to the wording (of the commands) of Ḫammu-rāpi, king of [Baby]lon, a king who preceded me.
