Grayson, ARRIM 1 p. 10.
A fragmentary text of a stone tablet of unknown provenance (but most probably from Ashur). The text is very broken, but it shows important insights on Adad-nārāri's campaign against Babylonia (Karduniaš) and its king Nazi-Muruttaš, whom Adad-nārāri besige in the city Kar-Itšar. Although it seems to have text no. 1 as introduction (ex. 33), the narrative style of the text is peculiar, putting together military and building (the wall and the ziqqurrat) records.
