(1') [I continually ac]ted [as provider for (the cities) Sippar, Nippur, Babylon, and Borsippa (and) I made restitution for the wrongful damage suffered by] the people of privileged status, as many [as there were (of them); I restored the exemption (from obligations) of (the city) Baltil (Aššur) and the city Ḫarrān, which] had fallen into oblivion [in the distant past], and their privileged status that had la[psed].

(8') In accordance with my heart’s desire, I built a city [at the foot of Mount Muṣri, a mountain upstre]am from the city Nineveh, and named [it] Dūr-Šarrukīn. I had [the gods Ea, Sîn, Šamaš, Nabû, Adad, Ninurta, and] their great [spous]es created inside Eḫursaggalkurkurra and I installed (them) inside it (Dūr-Šarrukīn) on (their) [eternal] d[ais(es)]. (10´) I built inside it [palatial halls using (lit.: “of”) elephant ivory, ebony, boxwood, musukkannu-wood, ce]dar, cypress, daprānu-juniper, juniper, and terebinth to be my royal residence [and ...] I had enemy [people] whom I had captured dwell inside it (as safely) as in meadowland and I considered i[t] as (one of) the cul[tic center]s of Assyria.

(12') [(...) With the support of the great gods, I advanced and] ruled [the people] (from) the Upper Sea to the Lower Sea as if (they were) one (people). I made uncompliant lands (and) insubmissive mountain regions bow down at [my] feet. [I dispersed the forces of Ḫumbanigaš (Ḫumban-nikaš I), the Elamite]. I destroyed the lands Karalla, Šurda, (and) Kišesim (and) the city Ḫarḫar; I did not leave any offspring of the land Media as far as the border of Mount Bikni and the land Ellipi. [I] settled [in their midst people of the land Ḫatti (Syria) that I had conquered]. I set eunuchs of mine as provincial governors over them and had (them) pull my yoke. (15´) [I subjugated the lands Mannea, Andia, (and) Zikirtu]. I counted as booty [Ur]zana, king of the city Muṣaṣir, together with the people of his land (and) his deities Ḫaldi (and) Bagbartu. [I had (the people of) the land Urarṭu, to its full extent, wield razor(s)], ... and flint blades (in order to slash themselves in mourning), and I imposed for the future lamenation and dirge (singing) upon the people who lived there. I brought about [the defeat of Ursâ (Rusâ), the Urarṭian, at Mount] Uauš, a rugged mountain. He then took fri[ght] at (engaging in) fierce battle with me [and by] his own [hands], he brought an end to his life with the iron dagger from his belt.

(18') [Like the Deluge, I overwhelmed the land Hamath to its full extent]. I brought their king [Ia]ū-biʾdī (Ilu-biʾdī) to Assyria in bondage, together with his family, [his] figh[ting men, (and) the booty of] his [land]. I conscripted from among them (a contingent of) [300 chariots, 600 cavalry, (and) shield (and)] spear [bearers], and [(...)] I added (them) to my royal contingent. I settled [6,300 Assyrian criminal(s) (...) in] the land Hamath. I set a eun[uch of mine as] provincial [gov]ernor over them and I imposed upon them (the delivery of) tribute (and) payment(s).

(21') [Mutallu of the land Kummuḫu put his trust in Argišti, king of the land Urarṭu], stopped his [annual] delivery of tribute (and) payment(s), and withheld his audience gift.

(his) property (and) posse]ssions, the treasure of his palace, (along) with the people [of his land and ...] I settled [there ... I set] a eunuch of mine as [provincial] gove[rnor over them (25´) ...] I conscripted [... from am]ong them and [I made (them) subject to him (the new governor) ...] ... [...]
