icts and decrees upon it I wrote;
in the midst of his palace I put it up; of stone my tablets
I made;
99 the decrees of my throne upon it I wrote; in the great gate
I fixed them, in the date of this year which takes its name
from me, in honor of Assur my Lord and Ninip who uplifts
my feet.[25]
100 Whereas in the times of the Kings my fathers no man
of Suhi to Assyria had ever come, Il-bani Prince of Suhi
together with his soldiers
101 (and) his son, silver, gold as his tribute to Nineveh in
abundance brought: in my own eponym[26] at the city of Nineveh
I stayed: news
102 they brought me that men of the land of Assyria, (and)
Hulai the governor of their city which Shalmaneser King
of Assyria my predecessor
103 to the city of Hasiluha had united, had revolted: Dandamusa[27]
a city of my dominion marched out to subdue
(them);
104 in honor of Assur, the Sun-god and Yav, the gods in whom
I trust, my chariots and army I collected at the head of the
river Zupnat, the place of an image
105 which Tiglath-Pileser and Tiglath-Adar, Kings of Assyria
my fathers had raised; an image of My Majesty I constructed
and put up with theirs.
106 In those days I renewed the tribute of the land of Izala,
oxen, sheep, goats: to the land of Kasyari[28] I proceeded,
and to Kinabu
107 the fortified city of the province of Hulai. I drew near;
with the impetuosity of my formidable attack I besieged and
took the town; 600 of their fighting men
108 with (my) arms I destroyed; 3,000 of their captives I consigned
to the flames; as hostages I left not one of them alive;
Hulai
109 the governor of their town I captured by (my) hand alive;
their corpses into piles I built; their boys and maidens I
dishonored;
110 Hulai the governor of their city I flayed: his skin on the
walls of Damdamusa I placed in contempt; the city I overthrew
demolished, burned with fire;
in the city of Mariru within their territory I took; 50 warrior
fighting men by (my) weapons I destroyed; 200 of their captives
in the flame I burned;
112 the soldiers of the land of Nirbi I slew in fight in the
desert; their spoil, their oxen, their sheep, I brought away;
Nirbu which is at the foot of mount Ukhira
113 I boldly took; I then passed over to Tila their fortified city;
from Kinabu I withdrew; to Tila
