1001

This text is partially preserved on a fragment of stone slab discovered by R.C. Thompson at Nineveh and it may be a duplicate of text no. 6 [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/riao/Q006036/], but not enough of the inscription remains to be certain of this. Due to the object's poor state of preservation, the piece may have been left in the field.

1002

This piece of a clay cone bears a badly preserved text; it was discovered in the palace of Ashurnasirpal II [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/riao/theassyrianempire883745bc/ashurnasirpalii/index.html] at Nineveh and is currently housed in the British Museum (London). Just like text no. 1001, it may be a duplicate of text no. 6 [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/riao/Q006036/], but not enough of the text survives to substantiate this theory.

1003

A small fragment of a clay cone now in the British Museum (London), possibly from Nineveh, preserves part of a text of Adad-nārārī II [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/riao/thekingdomofassyria1114884bc/adadnarariii/index.html]'s son or grandson. Because it unclear whether Adad-nārārī is the father or grandfather of the monarch who had this inscription written out, the object could be ascribed either to Tukultī-Ninurta II or Ashurnasirpal II [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/riao/theassyrianempire883745bc/ashurnasirpalii/index.html].

1004

This poorly preserved text, along with images of several divine figures, is engraved on a stone stele discovered at Tell Ashara (Terqa), which is located on the Middle Euphrates; the object is now housed in the Aleppo Museum. The inscription is very difficult to read, therefore making its identification to a particular ruler very uncertain. Because the text appears to contain the names Tukultī-Ninurta and Adad-nārārī [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/riao/thekingdomofassyria1114884bc/adadnarariii/index.html], as well as that of the city Laqû, as H. Güterbock and A.K. Grayson suggest, this inscribed object might have been erected by Tukultī-Ninurta II, although this is far from certain.
