This epigraph is inscribed on a badly worn slab that is still in situ at Nineveh, in the throne room (Room I, slab 1) of Sennacherib's palace. It is engraved above a relief depicting the burning city of Ukku. The text and relief refer to an incident that took place during the king's fifth campaign (697; his 8th regnal year).

An epigraph recording the conquest and looting of the city Bīt-Kubatti is carved on a stone slab discovered by A.H. Layard in Room LX of the palace of Sennacherib (slab 2). The two-line text is just above the depiction of a burning city. Bīt-Kubatti was captured during Sennacherib's second campaign (702).

A carved orthostat in the South-West Palace at Nineveh portraying the city Dilbat under siege (Room III, slab 8) has a two-line epigraph located just above the besieged city. Although Dilbat is not mentioned in Sennacherib's annals, the event probably took place during his first campaign (late 704–early 702).

Commentary
The rather bold restorations are based upon J.M. Russell's edition, which should be consulted for justification. E. Frahm rightly points out that the restoration of line 1 is uncertain and notes that this city should be differentiated from the city Elenzaš, which Sennacherib plundered during his second campaign.
