to Rurie had gone up, to Tuskha I brought back and
settled there: that city to myself
9 I took; the wheats and barleys of Nirbi I accumulated in
it; the populace of Nirbi who before my arms had fled,
10 returned and accepted my yoke; of their towns, their Viceroys,
their many convenient houses I took possession; impost
and tribute, horses,
11 horses for the yoke, fish, oxen, sheep, goats in addition to
what I had before settled, I imposed upon them; their
youths as hostages
12 I took. While I was staying in Tuskha, I received the
tribute of Ammibaal son of Zamani, of Anhiti of the land
of Rurie
13 of Labduri son of Dubuzi of the land of Nirdun and the
tribute of the land of Urumi-sa Bitani, of the Princes of
the land of Nairi,

Kirhi hard by; many of their warriors
21 I slew; their spoil I spoiled; their cities with fire I burned:
