Eritu, Zuritu
his fortified city, with 150 cities
70 of his territory I overthrew, razed, burned; the boundary
I reduced to a heap.
While in the vicinity of Parsindi I was stationed, the warlike
engines of the tribe of Kallabu
71 came forth against the place; 150 of the fighting men of
Amika I slew in the plain; their heads I cut off and put
them up on the heights of his palace;
72 200 of his soldiers taken by (my) hands alive I left to rot
on the wall of his palace:[11] from Zamri the battering-rams
and ... my banners I made ready;
73 to the fortress Ata, of Arzizai, whither none of the Kings
my sires had ever penetrated I marched: the cities of Arzizu,
and Arzindu
74 his fortified city, with ten cities situated in their environs
