... a reign ... Nabonidus, the savior, heard about the advance of my troops and fled to Elam. Because of the oath of the great gods which he had transgressed, the gods Ashur, Sîn, Shamash, Bel, and Nabû imposed a heavy punishment upon him and they seized him in Elam with the sword. Na'id-Marduk, his brother, the evil deeds that they had done to his brother in Elam
He saw it, and to save his life he fled from the land Elam and went to Assyria, before me. Na'id-Marduk and Ummangash, his brother, voluntarily sealed the sovereignty of the Sealand and imposed upon him tribute and payment in recognition of my overlordship, a payment without interruption.
The fear of the god Ashur, king of the gods, and the brilliance of my lordship overwhelmed him and a fear of his own made him rise up and he owes a debt and a payment that cannot be changed in Nineveh, before me. I had mercy on him and he made him prosper. I strengthened the city Sha-pi-Bel, his fortified city, and I made it greater than before. I confined him, together with his archers, in that city and like a door in front of Elam
I conquered the city Arzâ, which is on the border of the Moab. I gave Asuhili, its king, together with his troops, a fortress, and with his audience gifts

After these deeds had been performed, they sinned against the heart of the great gods, my lords.

By means of the craft of the craft of the ritual, their daises I erected.

In the seventh month of the month Simanu, the month of the god Sîn, the lord of decisions, the first-born son, the foremost son of Enlil, I mustered my troops. In the steppe Ummanaldashu Humban-haltash III, the king of the land Elam, he brought me a journey. He took the road with me. Tam...ritu, the king of the land Elam, who had fled from Indabibi, his servant, and
The people of the cities Hilmu, Pillatu, Dumuqu, Sulaya, and Lahira-dibirina heard about the mighty assault of my battle array, which I had carried off to the land Elam.

I gathered the earth from the cities Susa, Madaktu, Haltemash, and the rest of their cult centers. I took it to Assyria. In a month, in a month, I enlarged the land Elam to its full extent. I gathered the noise of men, oxen, and sheep and goats, the roiling of the road, and I surrounded its fields, herds of donkeys and gazelles, as many as there were, and I made the plains beautiful. I made Nanaya, whose 1,635 years
... who went to live in Elam, ... ... and at that time, he and her gods ..., who spoke my name to rule over the ..., you made her receive her divinity. ... saying: "Ashurbanipal, from the land Elam ... brought me out and brought me into the E-...," the word of their divinity, which from distant days ... they had spoken, now they have confirmed and the people of the future
I grasped the hands of her great divinity. The road that a slanderer had taken, I took. To Eanna, in Kislimu, on the 1st day, in ... I brought her and in Ehiliana, which you love, I made her dwell. A eternal dais for the people and the booty of the land Elam, which by the command of the deities Ashur, Sîn, Shamash, ..., Bel, Nabû, Ishtar of Nineveh, Sharrat-Kidmuri, Ishtar of Arbela, Ninurta, Nergal, and Nusku, I erected.
I offered the first offerings to my gods. The men of bow and aribu-wood, the craftsmen, and the kitkittu-... who I carried off from the land Elam, up to the underworld of my royal majesty, ..., and the rest of them to the cult centers, the residence of my gods, my governors, my magnates, and all of my camp like sheep I slew. Ummanaldashu Humban-haltash III, the king of the land Elam, who saw the might of the mighty weapons of the god Ashur and the goddess Ishtar,
From the mountain where he had fled, he returned and entered Madaktu, the city which by the command of the god Ashur and the goddess Ishtar I destroyed, demolished, and plundered. He entered and sat down. In the midst of the evil place of Nabû-bel-shumati, son of Shu-Ashurna, who had sinned against my treaty and sinned against my lordly majesty, who the kings of the land Elam had established as his stronghold, he trusted in Ummanigash, Tammaritu, Indabibi, Ummanaldashu,
The kings who exercised dominion over the land Elam sent my messenger, who was accompanied by Nabû-bel-shumati, in a raging rage. Ummanaldashu and Nabû-bel-shumati, sons of Shuaash, heard about the advance of my messenger who had entered inside the land Elam and he bowed down. His heart became frightened, his life was cut short. His face did not turn back and he bowed down. He said to his own kisû: "I will strike me with my weapons."
Ummanaldashu Humban-haltash III became frightened by the iron sword and he smashed the head of that Nabû-enmu-ahhe with salt and he gave it to my messenger as a gift until the head of his sacrificial man who had sinned, and he brought it before me. I did not give his head to him before. ... he removed from the ... of the previous ... and ... his head ... Nabû-shumin-shabat, the sacrificial man, Geshnun-mukina,
A hostile brother who with him went to Sumuru Elam, went to the aid of Pa'ê, who in the presence of Ummanaldashu had exercised dominion over the land Elam, the ... of the god Ashur and the goddess Ishtar, who had frightened one, two, or three times, against the land Elam, he feared, and he took away the wrath of his heart. He fled from the land Elam and grasped the feet of my royal majesty. The people of the cities E-Imbi, Kuzurteyin, Dur-sharru,
the cities Masutu, Bube, Eunzaya, Earrabi, Ibrat, Anzagarsha-Tapapa, Akbarina, Gurukirra, Dunnu-Shamash, Hamanu, Kanishu, Aranzêshe, Naqidati, Dim...sha-Simame, Eqatatti, Shakisaya, Subahe, and Til-Humba, which on my previous campaign, which had been captured by the mighty weapons of Ashur and Ishtar,
The people of the land Saladri, the rugged mountain, whose strength they had established, the mighty radiance of the god Ashur and the goddess Ishtar, my lords, overwhelmed them. They fled from the mountain where their lands were situated and took to the mountains. I captured them with my bow. I added them to the royal contingent which I had entrusted to me. On my ninth campaign I mustered my troops. The plain of Uaite', the king of the land of the Arabs.
The road which in my treaty he had broken, the salt I had done did not keep safe, and he took away. The scepter of my lordship which Ashur had fashioned, he had removed, and his feet he grasped, and he sat down. To inquire about my well-being, his substantial payment, like the land Elam, he heard about the slander of Ur, and he did not keep safe my treaty. Assurbanipal, the holy priest, his steadfast shepherd, ... the hands of Ashur, he abandoned me, and
To Abi-Yate' and Ayamu, son of Te'ri, the army gave them. For the support of Geshnu-mudina, my hostile brother, he sent and he made a complaint. The people of the land of the Arabs with him he made and they became afraid. The people whom Ashur, Ishtar, and the great gods gave to me, their shepherds they did and they filled with them. By the command of Ashur and Ishtar, my troops, on the road to Azar-ili and Hira-taqashaya
in Udume, in the pass of Yabrudu, in E-ammani, in the district of Haurina, in Mu'aba, in Sa'arri, in Harge, in the district of Shubite;

I ... a distance of 6 ... a mountain, all of it, and I marched as far as Hulhuliti to Hukku..., a rugged mountain. I defeated the 'a'lu-demons of Abi-Yate', son of ..., the Qidru. I defeated him and plundered him. Abi-Yate' and Aya-mu, son of Te'ri, by the command of the god Ashur and the goddess Ishtar, my lords,
In the middle of battle I captured them alive. I gave them iron fetters by the hands and feet.

May the great gods make Marduk's heart happy.
May the name of the Lord, Marduk, endure forever for all.
Enter, O Divine Lamp. Establish good things.
May life go forth from your mouth.
Greet the house you enter, O Nusku.
When you have recited this, the sick man in front of the torch
you stretch out, and thus you make him recite:

You stand in the sky at night and observe the people.
Without you judgment and decision are not rendered.
