| Obverse [0:5] 1'1'–5'5' | [Afterwards, Tammarītu, who sat on the throne of the land Elam after Ummanigaš (Ḫumban-nikaš II)] (and) who did not inquire about the well-being of [my] royal majes[ty], came [to the aid of Šamaš-šu]ma-ukīn — (my) unfaithful brother — and to fight with [my] tro[ops. As a result of the supplications that] I had addres[sed to (the god) Aš]šur and the goddess Ištar, my gods, [Indabibi, a servant] of his, rebelled against him and sat o[n his throne]. |
| Obverse [5:8] 6'6'–8'8' | [Tammarītu], his [broth]ers, his family, the seed of his father’s house, (and) the nobles who marc[h at his side], fled to me [from I]ndabibi, and (then) crawled na[ked on] their [bellie]s and came t[o Nineveh]. |
| Obverse [8:12] 9'9'–12'12' | [Tammarītu], (who was) before that (i.e. my royal) chariot, [kissed] the feet of m[y] royal majesty [and] swept [the ground] with his beard. [He took hold of] the platform of [my] chari[ot and (then) handed] himself over [to do obeisan]ce to me. By the com[mand of (the god) Aššur and the goddess Ištar, he made an appeal to my lordly majesty to decide his case (and) to come to hi]s [aid]. |
