| 44 | (4) For his life and the [well-being] of his city: (As for) the great wall of the New City, which Puzur-Aššur (III), (a) ruler (who came before me), my ancestor, had built, I built a new wall next to that wall. From the great wall of the Inner City as far as the (Tigris) River, I applied a facing to it in [its] entirety. I built it from its foundations to its crest. Moreover, I deposited my clay cone (therein). | |
