Weidner, Tn. no. 21

A text is tentatively reconstructed from the inscriptions on two fragmentary clay cones, one of which was found at Ashur, south west of the ziqqurrat of the Anu-Adad temple, while the other might also come from Ashur it was classified with a Kuyunjik number. Following Weidner, Grayson has based the restoration in his edition largely on texts nos. 23-24.

KAH 2, no. 60

A stone tablet found at the ziqqurrat in Kār-Tukultī-Ninurta bears an inscription recording the building of the new capital. This text and no. 24 are the only two in which is present the episode of a large group of Hittites being deported from "Beyond the Euphrates" to Assyria. Why such episode is not present in earlier inscriptions remains unclear.

KAH 2, no. 61

Closely connected to texts nos. 23 and 25, this inscription on a stone tablet describes the works on the new capital Kār-Tukultī-Ninurta, where it was discovered in the ziqqurrat, like text no. 23. The presence in the inscription of the titles "king of Assyria and king of Karduniaš (Babylonia), king of Sumer and Akkad, king of Sippar and Babylon, king of Tilmun and Meluḫḫa" indicates that this text was composed after the military campaign in Babylonia that brought the region under Assyrian control for seven years (see main introduction [/riao/thekingdomofassyria13631115bc/tukultininurtai/index.html]).

Wiseman, Treaties pp. 21-22 (translation) pl. VIII no. 2

A small clay tablet that probably comes from Nineveh has copies of three inscriptions that were on a royal seal of lapis lazuli. It was originally the seal of Šagarakti-Šuriaš, king of Babylonia, but Tukultī-Ninurta I seized it as booty during his conquest of Babylonia and had an inscription of his own added to the object. After his death, the seal returned to Babylonia, only to be taken as booty once again in late 689 by Sennacherib [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/rinap/rinap3/index.html], who had his own inscription written on it.

Numerous bricks found at Aššur are stamped with a four-line inscription of Tukultī-Ninurta I that were part of the New Palace, which went by the Sumerian ceremonial name Elugalumunkurkurra ("House of the King, Lord of the Lands"). Many of the known exemplars are now in Berlin (Vorderasiatisches Museum) and Istanbul (Eski Șark Eserleri Müzesi of the Arkeoloji Müzeleri); one brick is housed in the Abbey Museum in Queensland, Australia.

Over forty bricks from various Assyrian cities -- Aššur, Kār-Tukultī-Ninurta, Nineveh, and Šibaniba -- have a short inscription of Tukultī-Ninurta I stamped on them. The text was impressed on some exemplars by "means of individual stamps for each sign"; as A.K. Grayson has already noted, this is one of the earliest attested examples of movable type. In a few instances, the signs are impressed upside down. Most of the objects are in Berlin (Vorderasiatisches Museum) and Istanbul (Eski Șark Eserleri Müzesi of the Arkeoloji Müzeleri); a few are in London (British Museum).

A fragment of a clay cone discovered at Aššur contains parts of the first four lines of an inscription of Tukultī-Ninurta I. It is not sufficiently preserved to know what project of the king its building report commemorated. The object is now in Istanbul (Eski Șark Eserleri Müzesi of the Arkeoloji Müzeleri).

Part of the first line of a building inscription of Tukultī-Ninurta I is preserved on a fragment of a clay cone from Aššur. Because only part of the royal name remains, it is unknown what accomplishment of the king it recorded. The tiny fragment is housed in the Eski Șark Eserleri Müzesi of the Arkeoloji Müzeleri (Istanbul).
