This short text is preserved on three clay bricks from the city wall at Ashur, near to the Craftsman's Gate. As such, they provide proof that Aššur-dān reconstructed that gate, as he records in text no. 3 [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/riao/Q006015/]. A clay cone, also from Ashur, is inscribed with the exact same text, but with one minor orthographic variant in the first line.

A small fragment of a clay cone from Ashur preserves the beginnings of two lines of an inscription. While it could be a duplicate of text no. 4 [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/riao/Q006016/], the lengths of the lines do not match and, therefore, it is uncertain if the text should be attributed to Aššur-dān II.
