By the steadfast verdict of Nanna and Utu, the people of the mountains, the reed baskets of the city Ibrat, the city Murub, from its owners
When the storm was uttered, I? commanded it. Its strength to Larsa I? made manifest. The stele of the youth Utu to its place I? restored. At that time, the enemy was enraged, with weapons I? seized it. Its king was captured. The troops who were encamped I? captured. With broad wisdom and wisdom I? entrusted to the king in the heart of my land. In my city Larsa Nur-Idad, my father, I? entrusted to the man. In my city I was encamped. I was encamped in the distant land.
... to be re-established, and its king and its army shall return to their hands. His destiny Ishtaran, my king, may he establish for him. In its middle he shall not divide the same year. Four of my army, the army of my country, Ummizi, Ibrat, and the city of the middle he shall build its walls. He shall place them in the hands. Each month, for 30 days, he shall seal it. The city, its parts, its walls he shall complete. At that time, I will be my kingship.

In the distant future may he bring forth a mighty flood. In the favorable reign of Nanna and Utu, he gave to me grain 4 gur each, dates 10 gur each, wool 15 minas each, oil 3 ban2 each, lard 5 ban2 each, the shakkana-officiant of Ur and Larsa, like a silver 1 shekel, I shall have weighed out. When the great wall was built, the labor of one man was 4 ban2 each, bread 2 sila3 each, beer 2 sila3 each, oil 2 shekels each. When the day he divided it, I shall have weighed out. At that time the brickwork of Ur I shall have poured out.
Nanna, from the mountain ..., its name he made come forth, and joy and work he made complete, the citizens of Ur a peaceful dwelling he made dwell, and its people and good things he made great, Sîn-iddinam, the true shepherd, the good name, I am, my hero, to the past I have sworn by my name, and my kingship to the future I have made great. Ur, like a mountain range, I raised its top, and its wall I made perfect. Inside Nanna and Ningal I made good, and my things forever.
'If anything is not to be redeemed, the city of my land will be redeemed.' 'It is to be redeemed' by Nanna and Utu. For a long time, may it not be redeemed. In my reign, Ur and Larsa may I be as firm as heaven and earth forever.

To Yasmah-Addu speak! Thus Shamshi-Addu, your father: Your tablet which you sent to me is the following: When you were in Alam, you captured Tillabnim. Further, you did not let those men, the sons of that city, escape, but you brought them to me. Very good, 10 talents of gold I plated. Before you, when you were in Alam, you captured. He did not know, because the sons of the land of Zalmaqim I wrote to you as follows:
The sons of the land of Zalmaqim who in the midst of the night to the people he took, and not a single one of them he took, to the people he gave a gift, and the others who he took, the garments to wear, and to the people of the land to his own eyes he brought, and his supplications he made clear. Like the land of Zalmaqim all of it, before him he saw, and as he said, "My lady, our lady, has been seated."
They shall not slander me. They shall seize me. Their uzu they shall set against me, and when to that country you have sinned, all of it like one man shall seize me. When I did this, I wrote to you.
