The king's word to the emissaries, the kinalti and the eunuchs of Babylon and the Babylonians: I am well; Assyria is well; you can be glad.
Concerning this report, which you heard, do not fear! The city is surrounded by a ziggurat of streets, and the guard of your own is a burden on you.
Now then I am writing to you: Na'di-ilu, royal bodyguard, has told me: "I am afraid."
The king's word to the clergymen, the congregation, the leaders of Babylon and to the citizens of Babylon: I am well, Assyria is well – you can be glad.
Don't be afraid because of the news you heard; watch the city, seize the streets and take care of yourself!
Now I am approaching you again since the bodyguard Na'di-ilu told me: "They are trembling in fear." Bel and Nabû know and the great god himself knows that, verily, when I previously heard that your brothers were killed, for three days nobody entered into my presence, my heart broke.

Now you are afraid again. Bel and Nabû know indeed that there is no fault of yours. You can be very glad. Let your guard be strong until I arrive.
The bodyguard Na'di-ilu delivered the letter on the 26th of Iyyar II.

I have already written to my lord twice: 46 horses, 165 oxen, 4,635 sheep are in my charge and 33 horses, 135 oxen are in the charge of Ashur-nashir.
I have given him orders, written a sealed document and given it to him, and he has left for my lord.
Aya-neri has fetched 16 logs that came from Bel-ibni, deposited them unto me, and I have received them.

On the third day Atar-shumki and Mati-il will be tearing down the beams on the bank of the river. And I am tearing them out there. Now ... is bringing ... to me, saying: "Let them tear it out." Let them send me this letter.
The king, my lord, should know that he is not a 'residence' of mine.
The land of my lord is well; we are doing our work. The king, my lord, can be glad indeed.
Heretofore, Attar-shumki and Mati'-il used to pile up logs on the river bank, and I have piled them up there as well. Now NN comes to me, saying: "Let him = Aya-neri cut them for me, and bring them across to this side of the river!"

The king's word to the Babylonians: I am well; you can be glad.
I have heard all the gossip that this brother has said to you and all the gossip that he has said to you. Do not listen to the gossip, you are among Ashur and Marduk, my gods. When you speak to me gossip, I am constantly supplication to you, and I have said to you in my mouth: "Let me be sated with the name of the Babylonians who love him."
But I did not hear him. I gave your brotherhood, which I had established with the Assyrians and your family, which I had established, to you. Now, you are with me, but you should not hear his utterances. You are the one who is in my presence and in all the lands. You should not be negligent, and you should not be negligent in the presence of the god.
The king's word to the Babylonians: I am well; you can be glad.
The words of wind that this no-brother has spoken to you have been related to me. I have heard them; they are but wind, do not believe him. I swear by Ashur and Marduk, my gods, that I have never thought in my heart or said by my mouth any of the detestable things that he has spoken against me. It is nothing but a scheme that he has devised in order to make the name of the Babylonians, who love me, detestable along with him.
But I will not listen to it. Your brotherhood with the Assyrians and your privileged status which I have established remain valid until the present day; you are close to my heart. Correspondingly, do not listen to his vain words, do not taint your name which is in good repute before me and the whole world, do not make yourself culpable before God.

Moreover, another matter, concerning which I am constantly enraged with you: "Now that we have been enraged, we have been enraged with our debts; there is no debt. It is just as good as it is with my adversary. If you are to impose debt upon your people and to make a treaty with him, it is with you, the god.
Now then I am writing to you: if you do not agree with these words, then let me quickly see the whole extent of my message. I have sealed the tablet which I had written to Bel and the seal of Marduk.
Month Iyyar II, 23rd day, eponym year of Ashur-duru-ushur. Shamash-balassu-iqbi, governor of the city of Sharru.
I also know another matter that you have been pondering in your hearts: "Now, the very fact that we have taken hostile action against him will be a burden on us" — it will not be a burden; it is nothing, since the name is very good. Though the very fact that you have sided with my opponent is like placing a burden on you, and violating the treaty is a matter to be settled before God.
Now then I am writing to you: if you do not wish to stain yourself with him in these matters, let me quickly see an answer to my letter. May this man whom Marduk hates not deprive from my hands the troop which I have put together for Bel.
Month of Iyyar II, 23rd day, eponym year of Ashur-duru-ushur. Shamash-balassu-iqbi delivered it.

Like gold, may my personal god and personal goddess be at peace with me.

May they remove my evils like a mesu-tree.
May the curse of evil not approach me, may it not approach me.
May my name and my sign be accepted in your presence.
May the plants and the luxuriant life which are established before you be released from my body.
May they not afflict me with a swollen face, a sick person, a sinner.
May the guilty, the guilty, release the guilty, the guilty, the guilty.
The hand of the great gods,

It is the wording of a lifted-hand prayer to Marduk.
If he strews a ritual assemblage like a kishdû-demon, and a censer has been placed over him, the head of the sheep will not prosper.
You remove the 'finger' from his mouth and you rub it either on the 'finger' or on the 'finger.'
He should not wear red, nor should he be deprived of the light. As soon as he has sworn this, he will not see anyone who is not Marduk.
Ea prayed to me three times and I swore a scepter.
If a patient a sore in his house and does not see his behind:
kuku-plant, anhullû-plant, four of them; erkulla-plant, elikulla-plant,
You mix it together with oil of cypress and put it at the side of the ritual assemblage. You give it to his brother.
You recite this incantation three times. You recite the four anhullû-response and
You remove those stones from the plant Anhullû-plant and speak to the patient as follows.
Incantation: You are the one who rejoices, guardian of the peace of Ea and Asalluhi.

May they sing . . ., may they speak . . . like me.
In the midst of good health, may I live long and have a good dream.
By the command of Asalluhi, sage of . . . Marduk,
When you say this to anhulu-plant,
You put it on his neck. You put it inside the oil that is in the dillim-shesh-bowl and the boxwood.
Incantation: You recite the incantation three times and constantly recite the incantation.
At that time, you set up a tureen of censers and a torch for him and
The god smite him, he does not approach him, anything evil.
He will speak his name for good.
If a man's head hurts him, his tongue afflicts him.
Palace of Ashurbanipal, king of the world, king of the land of Ashur,
who trusts in Ashur and Ninlil,
Whom Nabû and Tashmetu gave wide understanding,
Who sees the light, who knows the scribal art,
which among the kings who came before me
Any kind of work that they did not do,
The wisdom of Nabu, the scepter of santakku-offerings, as many as there are,
I wrote, collated, and checked the following text on tablets:
I deposited it in my palace for my reading and studying.
Your great divinity is not a fig; O king of the gods, Ashur,
Whoever carries this tablet off or writes his name with my name,
May Ashur and Ninlil overthrow him with fury, and
May his name and his seed disappear from the land.
Like lapis lazuli, may my life become precious before you, may mercy be established for me.
Like gold, may my personal god and personal goddess be at peace with me.
May I be a blessing in the mouth of the people.
Like mesu-wood, may they remove my evils.

May they not allow anger, divine wrath come near me,
Also, demonic seizure, sacrilege, or fault. May they release oath and curse:
The lifting of hands and the invocation of the great gods.
At your speaking lit. mouth, may I pass along the street with strength. Order good health for me!
May I be as pure as the heavens from the sorcery done against me.
May I be as clean as the earth from the wicked enchantments.
May I be illuminated like the midst of the heavens; may the bond of my evils be released.
May the tamarisk purify me. May the mashtakal-plant release me. May palm-heart dispel my sins.
May Asalluhi's ritual agubbû-vessel grant favor to me.
May the censer and torch of Girra and Kusu cleanse me.
According to the command of Ea, the king of the Apsu, father of the gods, Ninshiku,
On account of the lifting of my hands may your heart, O Asalluhi, exorcist of the great gods, . . ., be at rest,
So that I may continually praise the word of Ea, and . . . queen Damkina,

And that I may laud your divinity and sing your praises.
May personal my god laud your great deeds.
May my personal goddess speak of your greatness.
And may I, the exorcist, your servant, sing your praises.
It is the wording of a lifted-hand prayer to Marduk.
When the ritual assemblage is completed and the censer has used up its materials lit. portion, do not change where lit. the place the head of the sheep is set.
You pull hair from its forehead, and either on a ritually impure person or on a person with leprosy lit. one filled with leprosy
you throw it. When you throw it, no one should see. "Marduk sent me,
Ea commissioned me" you say three times. Then you take apart the ritual assemblage.
The sick man should go straight to his house and not look behind him.
The dust? from making the four anhullû-plants, the erkulla-plant, the elikulla-plant
you mix together in cypress oil. You set it alongside the ritual assemblage. You anoint lit. rub him with it.
When you have recited this three times, you lift up the four anhullû-plants, and
you thread these stone beads on a string with the anhullû-plant, and thus you shall speak to them:
Incantation: You are the anhullû-plant, the watchman of the well-being of Ea and Asalluhi,
Do not receive the witchcraft, the sorcery, the contempt,
The anger of personal god and personal goddess, and humankind.
Do not receive conspiracy to murder, miscarriage of justice, and aphasia.
Do not receive sorcery. Do not let wicked witchcraft come near to me.
Establish for me a favorable protective spirit and a favorable divine guardian.
As for the angry personal god, the angry personal goddess, and humankind,
Reconcile them to me, . . . they speak with me.
By means of the watchman of well-being, may I see a favorable dream at night and every day.
According to the command of Asalluhi, the sage of . . ., Marduk.
When you have finished speaking this over the anhullû-plant amulets,
You place it on his neck. Into the oil that is placed in the ointment bowl made of boxwood,
You recite the incantation "you are enraged" three times and constantly anoint lit. rub the man.
At the appropriate time lit. in its day, you pass a ritual agubbû-vessel, a censer, and a torch by him, and
He will entreat his personal god; he will pray to him. No evil will draw near to him.
His name will be spoken with favor.
If a man's head keeps consuming him with pain and his tongue causes him to have stinging pain.
Palace of Ashurbanipal, king of the world, king of the land of Ashur,
who trusts in Ashur and Ninlil,
to whom Nabu and Tashmetu gave wide understanding,
who has achieved enlightened eyes with regard to the highest level of the scribal art,
which among the kings who came before me,
none had learned that art,
the wisdom of Nabu, cuneiform signs, as many as there are.
I wrote, collated, and checked the present text on tablets.
I deposited it in my palace for my reading and studying.
The one who trusts in you will not be put to shame, O king of the gods, Ashur.
Whoever carries this tablet off or writes his name alongside my name,
may Ashur and Ninlil overthrow him in fierce rage.
May his name and his seed disappear from the land.

It is your fault. It is the fault of your trust. The governors whom I send to you will not come with you, they will not stand with you, they will not do the work.
And concerning what you said: "The king should not go out and take Ur and the Gurashite out of the king's hands!" — how can I do it? I will do it.

It is not your fault! It is the fault of your colleagues, the governors whom I keep sending but who do not come, stay and work with you!
As to what you said, "May the king not abandon Ur, and may the Gurasimmu not get lost to the king! What else can be done? Let me do it!" — did I not send the governor of Mazamua and the prefects, did they not keep watch with you, did they not get weak and die for your defence?

And after the letter which you sent, let Bel-etir and Arbayu, cohort commanders, bring the horses into their hands and stand with you.

Incantation: O warrior Marduk, who is angry with him,
His beloved, merciful father,
They have sinned against my words and my incantation.
They have sinned and sinned against me.
My own limbs have been seized in my heart,
As if he had sworn by the name of the god,
O great lord, Marduk, merciful god,
... as much as there is,
Who can see the light?
... who can see?
. . . evil, I do not know.
. . . I may strive for my life.
... they will be sated with ... among the gods.
. . . of the god to the man who is ill.
I, your servant, may I do justice.
May the god pass by.
Whom from a distant time is not a distant time,
May it not be smashed in your heart. May it be released, and may it be released.
I will not accept my prayers.
My distress is yours.
This is my father, my father, my mother, my mother, my mother.
My life, my limbs and my limbs
May it not approach me, may it go away.
He has sworn me by the name of the god, like a sceptre.
For the good hands of my good personal god, I have performed the following:
May I stand forever in prayer, supplication, and supplication.
The people of the land who are sated in the midst of the heavens.
May they bury you, and forgive my guilt, and forgive my guilt.
O hero Marduk, forgive my guilt, forgive my guilt.
Incantation: O warrior Marduk, whose anger is a flood,
Whose forgiving is that of a merciful father.
Speaking without hearing has stirred me,
Calling out without reply has slighted me.
This situation has expelled the strength of my heart,
Like an old man, it has bowed me low.
O great lord, Marduk, merciful god!
Human beings, by whatever name—
Who among them can ascertain their own sin?
. . . has not sinned?
Who can ascertain . . .?
. . . lest I acquire sin
I ought assiduously to search out . . . of life,
But it is decreed by the gods to go about tasks . . .,
For a man to bear the . . . of the god.
As for me, your servant, though I have committed sins,
Though I have transgressed lit., crossed the boundary of the god,
Disregard that i.e., the sins from my youth, known or unknown,
May it not cause concern lit., may it not throb in your heart;
Illuminate my confusion,
Clear my consternation.
May the guilt of my father, my grandfather, the guilt of my mother, my grandmother,
the guilt of my family, kin, and clan,
Not draw near to me. Let it go elsewhere.
If? my god causes me to find favor, purify me like grass!
Entrust me to the favorable hands of my personal god and goddess for well-being and life.
May I stand before you perpetually with prayers, requests, and petitions.
Let the abundant people of the well-organized land
praise you! Forgive my guilt, cancel my guilt.
O warrior Marduk, forgive my guilt, cancel my guilt.

A tablet of Ummanaldashu Humban-haltash III, king of Elam. Good health to Assurbanipal, king of Assyria!
Nabû-bel-shumati has seized you from the beginning of the Marteneans. They have taken you away from the border of Assyria and Elam. You wrote to me: "Send Nabû-bel-shumati to me!" I have taken you away. Nabû-bel-shumati has sent you away.
The Marteneans who had brought Nabû-bel-shumati to Elam and had seized my people, who had come to drink water, have come to their aid .
Now there are people there. I shall send my enemy to them. I shall investigate them, and the servants of mine who have sinned against me shall be put in their hands. If they are in my country, I shall investigate them, and if the river has been blocked, you shall be a criminal.

A tablet of Ummanaldasi, king of Elam, to Assurbanipal, king of Assyria: good health to my brother.
From the beginning the Marteneans have sinned against you. They brought Nabû-bel-shumati across the river, initiating the fights between Assyria and Elam. Then you wrote: "Send Nabû-bel-shumati here," and I seized Nabû-bel-shumati and sent him to you.
The Marteaneans, who had brought Nabû-bel-shumati to Elam in the first place, returned. Certain people of mine living on the waterline got wind of it, and they went and slew them in Lahiru.
I shall now send people who live in the same region to them to call the servants of mine who sinned to account. If they are in my country, I shall hold them accountable, and if they have crossed the river, you ..., and seek compensation among them.
And as soon as they are brought,

Now I am bringing my case before the king, saying: "He is with Nabû-shezib, the king of Babylon's lord of salt." They are from the beginning of these words with the king of the Inner City.
The king asked me, and I have now written to you: "Let me go to the mountain, and I will be sated with iron, and let me know whether I know it or not."
Now, when I heard that Nabû-shezib had taken his women and his family from the Puqudu, he settled them in the Bit-Amukani, and now, when the king had seized the gate, I heard that he was going to the Bit-Amukani.

We went and spoke with our brothers, we wore our robes, we took a bridle, and we swore the words which were written there, and which were not written in Babylon, we spoke with them.
The king's word to the Babylonians: I am well; you can be glad.

"Let us go and speak to our brothers, rend our garments, take the obsidian knife, and discuss with them the matters by which they have destroyed themselves and through which we can snatch Babylon from the hands of the enemy; perhaps Babylon can still be saved from massacre."

Sennacherib, king of Assyria, the one who fashioned images of the god Ashur and the great gods, the temple of the akitu-house of the steppe, which is in the courtyard, which since distant days had been made, by the command of the gods Shamash and Adad, he built. Ea-aba-uga, the temple of the Kamû of the sea, he named it. The name of the temple of his cella, E-dub-abba, the temple of the crossing of the sea, his favorite residence, the azkur-gate of reddish bronze, as much as there is of Agasalakku, by the craft of the god Simug.
And the image of Ashur, which goes to Tiamat, is the bow, as it is in the chariot of the chariot of the satrap of the sea, the bow of the sea of the sea of the sea, which is the spear of the Apsu, which is smashed with it, on the command of Shamash and Adad in the middle of the river, and on the outside of that gate he has smashed all the gods, as many as he has smashed.
And behind him he went, the rakbu-demons who went on their feet, their battles, as before Ashur, the ziggurat, and after Ashur, the ziggurat of Tiamat, the creator of his own place, which Ashur, king of the gods, to his heart carried, on the command of Shamash and Adad, at the entrance of that gate he surrounded, the rest of the gods who went on their feet, on the command of Shamash and Adad

And concerning Sîn-sharra-ushur about whom you said: "He does not love Assyria," do I not know it? When he saw that my gods had not brought success in the hands of my enemy, he passed over, came, and grasped my feet.
And as to what you said, "He is saying terrible things about me in the presence of the magnates," what can this fool do?

eunuch of the great lord, who guides the universe, who gives the scepter and the crown, who establishes kingship, Enlil, lord, king of all the Anunnaku gods, father of the gods, lord of the lands, the god Ashur, wisest, lord of the crown, lord of heaven and earth, judge of heaven and earth, who strikes enemies, who strikes enemies, who strikes enemies, Adad, hero, conqueror of the four quarters of the lands, who kills enemies, Ninurta, warrior of evil and enemies, who strikes enemies, who destroys the hearts of Ishtar, foremost among the gods, lady of battle,
Who makes the kingship of the great gods supreme, who makes the heavens and earth rejoice, whose utterances are a scepter and a prayer, who makes kingship of Tiglath-pileser, beloved prince, your beloved, the shepherd who by your true heart you have brought to him, this exalted one you have made to rule the land of the great Enlil, you have granted him, the exalted one, the hero, you have given him, the destiny of his lordship to the totality and the seed of his priesthood
To the position of Ehursagkurkurra forever you gave. Tiglath-pileser, strong king, unrivalled king of the universe, king of the four quarters, king of all rulers, lord of lords, cupbearer of kings, attentive shepherd, who by the command of Shamash the pure scepter is given to him and the people, the people of Enlil, you have sent to him. All my faithful shepherd, whose command is pleasing to the rulers, exalted, exalted, whose weapons Ashur is
for the preservation of the four quarters of the world, his name forever he dedicated. The satrap of the people, the satrap of the upper and lower regions, the day of the nippalû-demon, whose brilliance covers the sky, the soaring flood which like a flood flood to the land of the Nukurtu he slew, and without the approval of the god Enlil he made it pass. The scepter of the gods Ashur and Ashur, the great gods, who grant my kingship, whose strength and might they granted to me, the border of their land
The kings commanded me to raise their mighty weapons, and to slay the enemy in battle. I slew the lands, the lands of the cult centers, and the rulers of the lands of the Pleiades, and I slew their borders. With one arm, I slew the kings, and I slew the headdress and the shitnuntu-garments against them. My sling in the middle and the other, in battle, I did not slay the people of Assyria, and its people. I added the border of my land.
At the beginning of my kingship, 20,000 people of the land of Mushkaya and their 5 kings who for 50 years the land of Alzu and the land of Purulumzu received tribute and tribute from Ashur, my lord, and the king, myself, in battle their breasts were not swollen, they were swollen for their might and they seized the land Katmuhu. With the support of Ashur, my lord, my chariotry and warriors I did not spare. After me I did not spare the land of Kasiyara.
with 20,000 of their troops and 5 kings in the land Katmuhi I have fought with them, I have imposed their yoke. The booty of their warriors in battle and battle like a rahishu I shall carry off. Their flesh in the mountains and the gorges of the mountains I shall make scarce. Their heads I shall cut off. The border of their cities like a sacrificial field I shall make disappear. Their booty, their possessions, and their foreign lands without number I shall carry off. 6,000 of their troops who before
my weapons he seized, my feet he grasped, I took them, and to my people I gave them. At that time I marched to the land Katmuhu, a land not ruled by any other, which had given tribute and tax to Ashur, my lord, and I conquered the entire land Katmuhu. I carried off their booty, possessions, and property, and burned their cities.
Head. Ashur, great lord, who sets straight all the gods, grantor of sceptre and crown, establisher of kingship, Enlil lord, king of all the Anunnaki, father of the gods, lord of the lands, Sin, wise one, lord of the lunar disk, elevated, barge; Shamash judge of the heavens and the earth, observer of the treachery of the enemy, exposer of the wicked; Adad, warrior, stormer of the regions of the enemy, the lands, the seas, Ninurta, hero, slaughtererof the evil and the enemy, satisfier of all of the stomach, Ishtar, first of the gods, lady of chaos,
adorner of battle. The great gods, the ones who administer heaven and earth, whose attacks are battle and combat, who make great the sovereignty of Tiglath-Pileser, the beloved prince, gift of your hearts, attentive shepherd, who in the firmness of your hearts you chose; the supreme crown you put on his head, for the sovereignty of the land of Enlil you greatly established him; leadership, supremacy, heroism you presented to him, the destiny of his rule for the exercise of power and the seed of his priesthood
for the post of Ehursagkurkura for eternity you pronounced.
In the beginning of my reign 20,000 men of the land of Mushkaya and their 5 kings who for 50 years the land of Alzi and the land of Purulumzi, bearers of tribute and tax of Ashur my lord, seized; Not one king in battle their breast subdued, in their strength they trusted, and they came down, the land of Katmuhi seized; with the help of Ashur, my lord my chariots and troops I set straight, on the rear guard I did not wait, but the land of Kashiyara, difficult terrain, I crossed,
with 20,000 of their troops of battle and their 5 kings in the land of Katmuhi I opposed, their defeat I verily established; the corpses of their warriors in the destructive plain like a flood I piled up, their blood in the hollows and flatlands of mountain I verily caused to flow; their heads I verily cut off; next to their cities like grain-heaps I poured out; their plunder, their property, their possessions without number I sent out; 6,000 of the remainder of their army that before
my weapons flew, my feet seized; I took them, and to the people of my land counted.

I razed, destroyed, and burned. The rest of the land Katmuhu which had fled before my weapons, I entered. The city on the other bank of the Tigris I conquered. The city for their stronghold I took. My chariots and my warriors I took. The rugged mountains and their rugged paths I smashed with copper. The chariots and my troops I smashed. The Tigris I crossed. The city for their stronghold I conquered.
The troops who carried them in battle like sheep I brought out. Their dead I brought out. The mountains and the peaks of the mountain I brought out. At that time, the troops of the Papheans who came to save and to save the land Katmuhu I brought out. With the troops of the land Katmuhu I surrounded like sheep. The quays of their carried to the gurunas in the groves of the mountain I surrounded. The corpses of their warriors I brought to the Tigris.
Kili-Teshub, son of Kali-Teshub, whom Errupi, their king, in battle defeated. His wife and sons, his offspring, his own, he carried off. With 3 suqqû of copper, 5 bronze scepters, with their gods, gold, silver, and the goodwill of their land I brought out. I burned the city Suatu and its palace. I destroyed, devastated, and burned Urratinas, their fortified city.
which in the distant mountains were strewn with fear and terror, the aura of the god Ashur, my lord, overwhelmed them and to save their lives their gods and their possessions they took. To the ziggurat of the high mountain like a bird they took. My chariots and troops I took. The Tigris I crossed. Shadi-Teshub, son of Hattuhi, the king who the city Urratnash had conquered, in his land and my feet he took. The sons who were his own offspring and his family to the rescue he took.
and a great bronze kettledrum with two oxen, oxen, sheep, a talent, and a tribute I received. I swore by his life and imposed upon him a heavy levy. The wide land Katmuhu in its entirety I conquered. I made them bow down at my feet. At that time I gave to Ashur, my lord, 1 bronze kettledrum, 1 bronze kettledrum, and the tribute of the land Katmuhu.
To the god Adad, my lord, I dedicated it. With the fierce weapons of Ashur, the mighty lord, and your power, with my thirty chariots I marched, with my warriors, the warriors who fight and fight, I took. To the mountain I marched, the mighty, the unrivalled, and the mighty mountains, the pleasant fields, with my chariots and the rugged terrain with my feet I crossed. In the mountain I slew.
I slew the chariots without number. I sat before my warriors. Like a sling I slew and in the thick of the mountain a sling of sashqû-seeds he slew. The mountain he slew like a sling. I overwhelmed the troops of their troops in battle like a sling. I carried off their booty, possessions, and property. I destroyed all of their cities. I imposed upon them tribute and tax. Tiglath-pileser was the hero.
who is unrivalled, who covers all the dead, conqueror of the land of the Shubaru, the most remote, unrivalled. I conquered the land of Alzu and the land of Purulumzu, whose tribute and tribute I had imposed upon them, the sacrificial oath of my lordship, and imposed upon them a heavy tribute, and a tribute and tribute to my city Ashur before me may they return. Like that which in my heroic act Ashur, the lord, the mighty weapon, who is unrivalled, he overwhelmed and the territory of his land to the ground
The urumû-demons, the troops of the land of the Hittites, who by their might were defeated,

I captured the cities of the land of the szubartu, the abode of the god Ashur, my lord, together with their lands, and two of their chariots, their sling-sticks, and I gave them to the people of my land. By the command of my heroism, I marched to the land Katmuhu. I conquered all of their cities. I carried off their booty, possessions, and their land without number. I burnt their cities. I destroyed, destroyed, and burned the rest.
their troops, who had become frightened in the face of my fierce weapons, and had seized the assault of my mighty battle array, to save their lives, the mighty battle arrays of the mountain and rugged terrain, they took away, to the ziggurat of the high mountains and the rugged mountains, the rugged mountains, which were without number, behind them they went up, the weapons of the mountains and battle with me they did battle, I imposed upon them their punishment, and the booty of their warriors in the mountain range
As if it were a flood I would make their deaths in the mountains and the peaks disappear, their booty, their possessions, and their land with the support of the mighty mountains I would bring. I surrounded the entire land Katmuhu and returned it to my land. Tiglath-pileser, the strong king, the one who is unrivalled in strength, the one who strikes enemies with lightning, with the exalted strength of the god Ashur, my lord, to the land Haria and the troops of the extensive paphu-peaks,
The high mountains, whose location no king has known, Ashur, my lord, to go, commanded me. My chariots and troops I shall take. Between the mountains of the east and the mountains of my own land, a rugged field I shall take. The high mountains, which like a sharp sword, which to the height of my chariots were not a threat, my chariots in the distant mountains I shall take. The rugged mountains I shall take. All the papheans and their extensive troops I shall establish and
to wage war and battle in the mountain of the Apsu fiercely he stood with them and in the mountain of the mighty fields with them he fought with them. I seized them and captured them. The corpses of their warriors in the mountain to the gurunas I brought. The dead of their warriors in the mountains and the mountains of the mountain I brought down. To the cities which in the ziggurat of the mountain were captured, I slew. 25 cities of the land Haria which at the foot of the mountain I surrounded, the mountain Shu'ira,
The lands Se'ezzu, Shelgu, Arzanibi, Urushu, and Anitku, I conquered. I carried off their booty, possessions, and property. I destroyed, devastated, and burned their cities. The land Adaush, the mighty flood, I swept away, and their places I abandoned. The ziggurat of the high mountain like a bird swept away. The brilliance of the god Ashur, my lord, overwhelmed them and they took to the ground my feet. I imposed upon them tribute and tax.
which since distant days had not known, I smashed like a snare the Abzu. I smashed with their extensive troops in the mountain, and I constantly fought with them. I smashed their corpses in the reed beds of the mountain like a snare. I conquered their cities. I imposed upon them their gods. I carried off their booty, possessions, and property. I destroyed, devastated, and turned into a snare the cultic rites. I imposed upon them the heavy yoke of my lordship.
I imposed upon them. Before Ashur, my lord, I imposed upon them the land of Isua, a rugged mountain, unsuitable for any future ruler. I imposed upon them tribute and tax. Before Ashur, my lord, I imposed upon them. In my awe-inspiring radiance of my enemies I conquered. My chariots and my troops I took. The Zaban River, the Shupala Canal, I crossed. The land of Muttash, the land Saradash, which is in the midst of the land Asanu and the land Atu, the land Namrashu, I conquered. Their troops, like a zeerqû-demon,
I conquered the city Mutash, their fortified city, together with the distant days of the sun. I conquered their gods, their possessions, and their land.

I destroyed, devastated, and burned the city Suatu. At that time I gave that copper to the god Adad, my lord.

I fought with all their lands on my feet. I defeated them and put an end to their fighting. I slew their troops in the gorges of the mountains to the yoke. I carried off their dead. The land Hiriha I surrounded like a fog. The entire land Sugi I conquered.
I brought their goods and their land to ruin. I destroyed, devastated, and burned their cities. The rest of their people took to my feet. I imposed upon them tribute and tax.

I brought out their booty, possessions, and property. I destroyed, devastated, and turned into ruin hills their cities. I returned the extensive horses, the chariots, the scouts, and the people of their cities into nothing. All the kings of the lands Nairi I captured alive. I gave them to those kings. I have pity on them and their life I have preserved. Their booty and their property I have brought before Shamash, my lord.
Great ones for the restitution of the people in perpetuity for the servants I have sworn. The sons of the creator of their kingship for the sake of life I took.
He imposed a tribute upon them and imposed it upon their lands. He expelled Seni, the king of the land of the desert, who was unsuitable for the god Ashur, my lord, and who carried off booty and booty to my city Ashur. I had mercy on him and from my city Ashur, the praise of the great gods, for joy and life imposed upon him. I ruled the extensive lands Nairi to all of them and subdued all their kings at my feet.
To the city Milidia of the land Hanigalbat, a rugged mountain, I marched. The assault of my mighty battle arrayed itself and my feet seized. My sworn oaths to that city I did not achieve, but their distress I took. One kurbanu of the mountain I received as a payment and to not be smashed against them I imposed it. Tiglath-pileser, the mighty, the one who is a foe, with the support of Ashur, my lord, my chariots and warriors I took. The battle array
I marched to the Ahlamû, the Armieans, enemies of the god Ashur, my lord. From the border of the land Suhu to the city Kargammish of the land Hatti, in one day I massacred them. Their booty, their possessions, their property without number I returned. The rest of their troops who before the weapons of the god Ashur, my lord, had plundered, the Euphrates I crossed. Their boats with the tusks of the Euphrates I crossed.
I conquered, burned, and plundered. Their booty, possessions, and property I brought to my city Ashur. Tiglath-pileser, the mighty, the one who strikes enemies with lightning, the one who strikes enemies with lightning, all of the rebels, to conquer the land of Sumer, Ashur, my lord, entrusted me, and between the lands Elam, Tala, and Harusa I took. The entire land of Sumer I conquered. Their warriors I plundered. Their cities I destroyed,
I seized the troops of the land of the Qumanu to the aid of the land of the people they marched. In the mountains with them I fought, I captured them, and to one city, the city of the people of the city of the people of the city of the people I seized them. My feet seized that city, and I imposed upon them tribute and tax. At that time all the land of the Qumanu which to the aid of the land of the people they conquered, all their lands they conquered.
In the midst of my fierce weapons with 20,000 of their extensive troops in the mountain I fought and defeated them. I surrounded their wide base and confined them as far as Mount Harusa which is before Mount Mushri. I surrounded the corpses of their warriors in the reed beds of the mountain like a mountain goat. I slew their blood in the mountains and the mountains. Their great cult centers
I conquered, burned with fire, destroyed, devastated, and turned into ruin hills. The city Hunusa, their fortified city, I destroyed like a ruin hill.

with their numerous troops in cities and mountains I fought. I imposed their yoke. The troops who were their strength in the mountains like a snare I smashed. Their heads like a snare I cut off. Their corpses I slew. The mountains and the peaks of the mountains I conquered. I took that city. I carried off their gods, their booty, their possessions, and their property. I burned that city.
I destroyed, devastated, and scattered the entire city. I turned it into ruin hills and ruins. And stone slabs on it I poured out. I made a bronze chariot. The lands conquered by Ashur, my lord, that city to be destroyed and its wall to be destroyed I wrote on it. I built a house of baked brick on it. I erected those bronze chariots therein. With the support of Ashur, my lord, I took my chariots and warriors. The city of Kipshuna
The city of their kingship I went to. The king of the land of the Qumaneans, a mighty storm, he blew up and my feet he took. That city he conquered. His great wall and his asiantu of baked brick to the ground I told him, and from its foundations to its crenellations he destroyed. Further, five of the sceptres of his heart, which had not been given to Ashur, my lord, he seized. I received from him his slander. I took away his property and the tribute, which before, I returned to him.
I conquered the extensive land of the Qumanu to its full extent. I made them submit to my feet. In all 42 lands and their rulers from the opposite bank of the Lower Zab, the pass of the mountain ranges, to the opposite bank of the Euphrates, the land of the Hattu and the Upper Sea of the Rising Sun, from the beginning of my kingship to my fifth regnal year I achieved their wish. I imposed upon them tribute and tax.
I sat on the beaten path of the lands, tribute which I did not receive for my lordly pleasure. A good field with my chariot and a rugged terrain with my feet I marched. The paths of the lands in my land I crossed. Tiglath-pileser, the mighty, the one who is able to grasp a bow without equal, the one who is able to grasp a bow, the one who is enraged by Ninurta and Nergal, their fierce weapons and their bows, they gave to my lordly arms. By the command of Ninurta, my beloved,
In the midst of the mountains, in the land of Mitanu and in the city Araziqi which is before the land of Hatti, with my mighty bow, with iron and my mighty arrows, their lives I made abundant, their skins and their horns to my city Ashur I carried.
In the land of the road and the side of the Euphrates I killed. I captured four wild elephants. Their skins and their hearts with wild elephants I carried to my city Ashur. By the command of Ninurta, my favorite,
In the midst of my rebellion I killed by my feet. Moreover, 800 lions in my chariot I captured in the open country. The entire body of Shakkan and the bird of heaven, her prey, in the reed nests of my reeds I slew. From the lands of Assur all of them I gained dominion. The temple of the Assyrian Ishtar, my mistress, the temple of Amurru, the temple of Enlibira, the temple of Ishtar, the temples of the holy gods of my city Assur I built and completed. I entered their temples.
I seated the great gods, my lords, in their midst and made their gods happy. I built palaces, royal residences, the great cult centers on the border of my land, which from the time of my ancestors had been weakened and weakened, and I built them. I completed them and completed them. I surrounded the walls of my land with them. I erected plows on all the outskirts of Assyria and deposited therein the barley for my ancestors.
The rations of horses, oxen, and donkeys,
Tiglath-Pileser, heroic man, holder of the bow without rival, expert of the hunt of the steppe: Ninurta and Palil their weapons angry and their bow exalted to my lordly side they gave; by order of Ninurta who loves me,
in the wilderness in the land of the Mitanu, and in the city Araziqu which is before the land Hattu with my strong bow, spear of iron and my arrows sharp, their lives I ended; their skins and their hides to my city Assur I brought.
in the land Harran and the region of the river Habur I verily killed, four living elephants I seized. Their skins and their teeth with elephants living to my city of Ashur I brought. By order of Ninurta who loves me
in combat heroic, on foot I verily killed; and 800 lions in my chariot in the open I felled; all of the creatures of Shakkan and birds of the sky flying with the bite of my reeds I brought low.

which with the support of the god Ashur, my lord, in the lands where I have imposed my handiwork, I have destroyed, and the cult centers of the sacrificial sheep and the mashhatu-diseases, the sacrificial sheep, the sacrificial sheep of the gods Ashur and Ninurta, the gods who love me, I have made tremble, in the high mountains I have smashed, and their cult centers I have destroyed. I have thrown everything that they have thrown away like the sacrificial sheep and I have thrown them into my belly.
I gave to Ashur, my lord. I took up cedar, tashkarinu-wood, and fir. In the lands over which I gained dominion those trees which none of the kings, my ancestors, had cut down, I took them and planted them in my own gardens. And I planted orchards in my own gardens, which were not suitable for my land. I planted orchards in Assyria. I fashioned chariots with a sagishtu-wheels for my army.
As for the land of Ashur, the land, its people, the people, I added, and the flesh of my people I provided. A solitary and merciless man I settled them. Tiglath-pileser, exalted prince, whom the gods Ashur and Ninurta had chosen for his own life, and after the lands of the god Ashur, all of them, had marched, and I made him rule over all of them. son of Ashur-sagisi, strong king, conqueror of the lands, who subdued all of the people,
son of Mutakkil-Nusku, whom the god Ashur, the great lord, with the strength of his heart sinned against him and firmly named him to shepherd the land of Ashur, true heir of Ashur-dan, the one who the pure scepter, the one who constantly seeks out the ways of the god Enlil, whose deeds and gifts are pleasing to the great gods, and who has gone to the distant past and distant past, the heart of Ninurta-ekur, the mighty king, loved by the god Ashur, whose radiance is as a scepter
At that time the temple of the gods Anu and Adad, the great gods, my lords, which Shamshi-Adad, vice-regent of the god Ashur, son of Ishme-Dagan II, vice-regent of the god Ashur, had built, 641 years had passed, and it had become dilapidated. Asurdan, king of Assyria, son of Mashibila-ekur II, who was also king of Assyria, had built that temple, but he did not build it.
At the beginning of my kingship, the gods Anu and Adad, the great gods, my lords, commanded me to exercise my priesthood. They told me to build their temples. I laid its foundations and surveyed its area. I conquered its area and thereby secured its foundations. I laid its foundations upon the mighty mountain base. I enlarged the area to its whole extent with bricks like a ka-nunu-house.
I built anew on top of it the temple of the gods Anu and Adad, the great gods, my lords, which is in front of it. From top to bottom I built it and restored it to its place.
which to the utterance of their great divinity I fashioned, the pure temple, his dwelling, their luxuriant dwelling, the residence of their cultic rites, which like the stars of heaven were pierced and with the supplications of their priests many, I smashed, I smashed, I made a raging flood come forth, I made it enter inside it like the interior of heaven, its ziggurats like the shards of stars I made shine, its reeds and its ziggurats to heaven I made them weigh out and its reeds with baked bricks I smashed, and its reeds I smashed with bitumen I smashed.
I confined great gods inside it, and I brought Anu and Adad, the great gods, into it. I made them dwell in their exalted dwellings, and I made them dwell in the midst of their great divinity.

The temple Hamru of Adad, my lord, which Shamshi-Adad, governor of Ashur, son of Ishme-Dagan, governor of Ashur, had built, had become dilapidated and he abandoned its site. I built and completed it from top to bottom with baked bricks. I made it more beautiful than before. Inside it I offered pure offerings to Adad, my lord. At that time, I had a stone haltu-stone and a kagina stone in the mountains of the lands Nairi which with the support of the god Ashur, my lord,
I conquered, and I established in the temple Hamru of Adad, my lord, forever. Like I, the holy temple, my exalted dwelling, for the residence of Anu and Adad, the great gods, my lords, I built and I did not leave a single one behind to do anything. I quickly reorganized and their great divinity I praised. May Anu and Adad be faithful to me and my hand may they love. May they hear my prayers. May they hear my supplications. May they hear my praises.
May all the lands of my enemies, the distant mountains, and the princes who oppose me, on my feet make secure. May they bless me and my priestly line, and may they grant me a good priesthood in the presence of Ashur and their great divinity for a long life like a mountain. May they make my warriors bow down. May they conquer all the lands of the enemy of Ashur, of Anu and Adad.
I wrote my monumental inscriptions and my foundation documents. In the temple of Anu and Adad, the great gods, my lords, for future days I established. Further, I made oil from the monumental inscriptions of Shamshi-Adad, my father, and made a sacrifice. I returned them to their places. In future days, in distant days, to any future prince, when the temple of Anu and Adad, the great gods, my lords, and those ziggurrat I filled and restored their inscriptions.
May my steles and my foundations be soaked with oil, may a sacrifice be made, may he return them to their places, may he write his name with my name, and may he, like me, may the gods Anu and Adad, the great gods, my lords, in joy and happiness, and in a favorable favorable fate, be his steles and foundations, may they tear out, they shall bury, they shall pour into water, they shall burn with fire, they shall bury in earth, in the temple of the azag
He erases my inscribed name, erases his name, and writes something evil, and writes anything evil before my steles. May Anu and Adad, the great gods, my lords, fiercely protect him, and may they curse him with a bitter curse. May they overthrow his kingship, tear out the foundations of his royal throne, destroy his lordly majesty, destroy his weapons, and make his army tremble. May they make him stand before his enemies. May Adad, with lightning, smite him.
May the evil of his land be stricken, may famine, hunger, and plague be confined to his land.
Let me destroy his name and his seed from the land. The month of Kuzallu, the day 29 eponymy of Ina-ili-yallak, chief of the cult centers.

I made my weapons greater than those of all who sit on royal daises. From the Upper Sea of the Setting Sun to the Lower Sea of the Rising Sun, all of the black-headed people I subdued. Further, the kings of the four quarters I slew, and the battles of their fathers I fought. Like a raging tiger, I slew him like a fox.

The city and the houses from its foundations to its crenellations
I tore down the temples of the gods, brick and earth, as much as there was, and I tore down the Arahtu canal. In that city I dug the canal again and their fields in water I dug. I destroyed its foundation, and over the one of the water of the water of its flood I made it larger. Because of the destruction of the days of the qaqaru of that city and the temples of the gods, without number, I imposed upon him a curse, and I made him live. ... ... before ... .

Ishtar of Nineveh and Ishtar of Arbela listened to my prayer and heeded my command. In their firm 'yes' they wrote to me a slanderous omen and they went without number. We went and we sinned against you.
After that I did not see the securing of horses, the securing of the securing of my battle equipment, nor the securing of my campaign. I did not appoint a guardian of my campaign. The securing of the month Shabatu, the mighty month, I did not spare. Like a sailor, who smote me, to slay my enemies, I opened my eyes. The road to Nineveh I took, quickly, and quickly my enemies in the territory of the land Hanigalbat, all their warriors, were captured and their weapons smashed.
Fear of the great gods, my lords, overwhelmed them, and they saw the assault of my mighty battle array and they saw the battle array. Ishtar, lady of battle, my hero, stood before me, and they sat down with their bows, sat down with their heavy weapons, and they spoke a great word to them in their assembly: "This is our king by her exalted command, they have been slandered against me, they have been slandered behind ..., they have been killed, they have been slandered against my lordship."

After Assur, Shamash, Bel and Nabû, the Igigi gods of Nineveh and the Igigi gods of Arbela, my brother Ashur-papash, with the good throne of my father he seated me and he entrusted me with the lordship of the land. He did not fear my face.
He did not agree to a treaty, he did not abandon it, and he did not abandon the rites. Further, his recruits before me did not write to me, and he did not inquire about the well-being of my royal majesty. He heard evil deeds in Nineveh, and his heart pounded, and he was afraid. The eunuchs of mine, governors who were in the territory of his land, questioned him, and he, Nabû-zeru-gesh, the scout, heard about the advance of my troops, and he fled to Elam.
Because of the oath of the great gods which he had transgressed, Ashur, Sin, Shamash, Bel and Nabû, the strong Anu, defeated him and he seized the land Elam. With the weapon of I-Marduk, his brother, he saw the deeds of the land Elam which he had done to his brother, and he fled from the land Elam and to do my servant work to Assyria he went and he made lordly. The entire land Tammuq in its entirety he made the rebellion of his brother a burden.
Afterwards, without interruption, with his substantial audience gift to Nineveh he went and kissed my feet. Abdi-Milkuti, the king of Shidunni, who does not revere my lordship, did not listen to the pronouncements of my lips, who trusted in the great sea and took up position on the throne of Ashur, Shidunni, his favorite city, which is situated in the sea,

At the beginning of the month, all of the mules, mules, camels, the remainder of the battle equipment, all of the troops, the booty of the enemy,
In that palace may a good protective spirit and a good protective spirit, who guards the foundation of my royal majesty and who constantly renews my mood, not abandon her, not stand by her, in the future among the kings, my descendants, whom the gods Ashur and Ishtar nominate for ruling over the land and people, when that palace becomes old and dilapidated, repair its dilapidated sections. As I wrote in my royal inscription, the name of the king, my father, who created me,
I have placed it with a written document written in my name, and you, like me, should see a written document written in my name, and anoint it with oil, make an offering, place it with a written document written in your name, and may the god Ashur and the goddess Ishtar hear your prayers.

I carried off to Assyria their substantial booty, horses, mules, donkeys, and camels, and I brought them to Assyria. Uppis, city ruler of the city Partakka, Zanasana, city ruler of the city Partukka, Ramateia, city ruler of the city Urakazabarna, and Media whose location is remote, which in the time of the kings, my ancestors, the territory of Assyria had not rebelled and did not seize its territory.
Fear of the terrifying terror of the god Ashur, my lord, overwhelmed them and large mules of lapis lazuli, the sling of his land, to Nineveh, my capital city, brought them and they kissed my feet. Because the city rulers who were in the hands of my lords had seized them, my lords, he swore to me and they swore my lordly majesty. I sent with them the eunuchs of mine and the governors in the face of their land, and they swore to me. The people living in those cities
From Ashur, Shamash, Bel, Nabû, Ishtar of Nineveh, and Ishtar of Arbela, they imposed upon my enemies in a levy and I slew all of my foes. With the support of the great gods, my lords, I achieved my heart's desire. I erected in my midst the shrines of the cult centers of Assyria and Akkad.
At that time, the palace of the overseers in Nineveh which the kings who preceded me, my ancestors, had built, to be a sanctuary for the caravan, to provide for the horses, mules, chariots, equipment for war, and the booty of the enemy, all of everything that the god Ashur, king of the gods, gave me for the exercise of kingship, to ride horses and to carry chariots,

girimhilibû-stone from the mountains, their place of creation, for the renovation of my palace, was very good and I had it brought to Nineveh. In the month of Addaru, the day when the agreement was reached, above that terrace, I built large palaces for my lordly residence. I raised it as high as a mountain. A strong house of 115 cubits long and 31 cubits wide, which among the kings who came before me, my ancestors,
I roofed it with magnificent beams of cedar. I fastened bands of silver and bronze on doors of cypress, whose fragrance is sweet, and installed them in its gates. I had bull colossi and lamassus, whose inscriptions are evil, erected on their necks, guarding the platform, ensuring the safe passage of the king who created them, on the right and left, and their doors I made. Palace of white limestone and cedar with a scepter
I had lamassus, mashatu-plants, whose scent is sweet to me, whose appearance is sweet to me, whose appearance is sweet to me, occupying the outer courtyard. I erected in it columns of cedar, great cedar, and adappu-wood, as their entrances. I had the door bolts of that palace, the ziggurat of lapis lazuli, made and I filled them with them. I had the ziggurat-wall surrounded with a halo like a rainbow. I had all the gates clad with shining silver and shining bronze.
The might of the god Ashur, my lord, which I had done in hostile lands, I achieved through the craft of the sage. Inside it, a garden, a replica of Mount Amanus, which had all kinds of aromatics and woods grown, I planted.

By the command of the god Ashur, king of the gods, and the gods of Assyria, all of them, with happiness, joy, happiness, a happy heart, a long life inside it, may I be sated with its splendor forever, and may I be sated with its splendor. In the month of the beginning of the year all the raging horses
All the troops and booty of the enemy, as many as there are, I have ordered to take it. Inside that palace, in the palace, may a good protective spirit and a good protective spirit guard my royal path, and make my mood bright forever. May they not leave it, but rather keep it there. In the future, may one of the kings, my descendants, whom the god Ashur and the goddess Ishtar nominate for ruling over the land and people, renovate its dilapidated sections when that palace becomes old and dilapidated.
Just as I, the one who carries the inscription of the name of the king, my father, who created me, with an inscribed object bearing my name, you, like me, look at an inscribed object bearing my name, and anoint it with oil, make an offering, and place it with an inscribed object bearing your name. The god Ashur and the goddess Ishtar will then hear your prayers.

As for me, Nabonidus, king of Babylon, by the negligence of your great divinity, remove me, and let my life of distant days be granted as a gift, and that of Bel-sharru, my first-born son, my own offspring, the fear of your great divinity, be set upon his heart, and may he not commit any sin. May he be spared.

I strengthened the guards above those days and I established them. I returned safely with a substantial booty and a substantial booty. After Nineveh, these kings, as many as I had appointed, sinned and did not honor the oaths of the great gods. They imposed upon them the punishments imposed upon them and their hearts they sinned.

The awe-inspiring radiance of the god Ashur and the goddess Ishtar, my lords, overwhelmed them. They, their people, their oxen, and their sheep and goats, to do obeisance to me to Assyria fell upon them and they took away ... my royal majesty.
