Several inscriptions edited in this volume include accounts of Sennacherib's victories on the battlefield. Since all of these campaigns were briefly discussed in Part 1 (pp. 9–16), there is no reason to include that information here. However, the authors feel that it is necessary to provide a few tables for easy reference. Only texts preserving military narration are included. Details on the military campaigns narrated in the texts edited in this volume are presented in Tables 1a–b below. For the dates and targets of Sennacherib's various campaigns, see Grayson and Novotny, RINAP 3/1 p. 10 Table 1.

44 Y= Yes, campaign included. We assume that text no. 164 included the same campaigns as text nos. 18, 22, and 23, but line numbers cannot be assigned since the text is too badly effaced to allow us to accurately assign line numbers to the individual passages.
