(1') [Together with his allies (and) his battle troops], he pitc[hed] his [roy]al [tent in a bend of the river (lit.: “between rivers”) like a cran]e [and assembled his military camp].

(2') [At the command of the gods Aššur, Nabû, (and) Marduk, I had a causeway constructed (lit.: “trodden down”) across his canals and I caught him, toge]ther with [his] fig[hting men, like a flying eagle in a net. I spr]ead out l[ike m]alt (spread for drying) [the corpses of his vanguard and of the Aḫlamû, the people of the steppe who go at] his [side], an[d I filled the surroundings of his city (with them). The city Dūr-Yakīn — his treasure house — (and) the cities Iqbi-Bēl, Kapru, Bīt-Zabidāya], Šāt-iddina, Zarāte, Raqqatu, E[kuššu, Ḫursaggalla, Dūr-Bēl-āliya, Dūr-Enlil, Bīt-Qiblāte, Nēmed-Sîn, Limītu, (and) Mād-akālša, (a total of) fifteen fortified cities, together with the se]ttlements in their environs, I [turned] into (ruin) mounds. [I carried off as booty at the same time (both) the people — young (and) old — who lived in the district and the gods who helped them; I did not allow a (single) person to escape].

(6') [(As for) the citizens of (the cities) Sippar], Nippur, B[abylo]n, (and) Borsippa who [through no fault of their own had been held captive in them (the fifteen cities), I put an end to their imprisonment and let them see the light (of day). (With regard to) their fields, which long ago, while] the land [was in disord]er, the Sutians had taken aw[ay and appropriated for their own, I struck down (those) Sutians, the people of the steppe, with the sword]. I (re)assigned to t[hem (the citizens) their territories, (whose boundaries) had been forgotten (and)] fallen into disuse [during the troub]led period in the land. [I (re)-established the freedom (from obligations) of (the cities) Ur, Uruk, Eridu, Larsa, Kullab, Kissik, (and) Nēmed-Laguda. Moreover], I returned [their gods that had been carried off as booty] to their cult centers and [I restored their] regular offeri[ngs that had been discontinued].

(10') [I restored the land Bīt-Yakīn and reorganized (its administration). I settled] th[ere people from the land Ku]mmuḫu that I had conquered, [and I had (them) occupy its (Bīt-Yakīn’s) abandoned regions. I divided up that land into equal parts and assigned (them) to the authority of a eunuch of mine, the] governor of Babylon, and a(nother) e[unuch of mine, the governor of the Gambulu (tribe)].

(12') Happily, [with a joyful heart (and) a radian]t face, I entered [Babylon, the cult center of the Enlil of the gods (Marduk); I grasped hold of the hands of the great lord, the god Marduk, and brought (him) safely along the road to the akītu-house. (With regard to) 154 talents, 26 minas, (and) 10 shekels of red gold, 1,604 talents (and) 20 minas of pure silver, copper], (and) iron in im[measurable] quantities, [...].
