ord I smote down; their
heads cut off in heaps I arranged; the rest of them like birds
65 in a nest, in the rocks of the mountains nestled; their spoil,
their riches from the midst of the mountains I brought
down; cities which were in the midst
66 of vast forests situated I overthrew, destroyed, burned in
fire; the rebellious soldiers fled from before my arms; they
came down; my yoke
67 they received; impost tribute and a Viceroy I set over them.
Bubu son of Bubua son of the Prefect of Nistun
68 in the city of Arbela I flayed; his skin I stretched in contempt
upon the wall. At that time an image of my person
I made; a history of my supremacy
69 upon it I wrote, and (on) a mountain of the land of Ikin(?)
in the city of Assur-nasir-pal at the foot I erected (it). In

75 I was stationed, they brought me intelligence that the city
Suri in Bit-Khalupe had revolted. The people of Hamath
had slain their governor
76 Ahiyababa the son of Lamamana[20] they brought from Bit-Adini
and made him their King. By help of Assur and
Yav
77 the great gods who aggrandize my royalty, chariots, (and)
an army, I collected: the banks of the Chaboras[21] I occupied;
in my passage tribute
78 in abundance from Salman-haman-ilin of the city of Sadi-kannai
and of Il-yav of the city of Sunai,[22] silver, gold,
79 tin, _kam_ of copper, vestments of wool, vestments of linen
I received. To Suri which is in Bit-Halupe I drew near;
