talents in _annui_, 1,000 oxen, 10,000
sheep, 1,000 vestments of wool, linen, _nimati_ and _ki_
woods coverings,
75 _ahuzate_ thrones, _kui_ wood, wood for seats, their
coverings, _sarai, zueri_-wood, horns of _kui_ in abundance,
the numerous utensils of his palace, whose beauty
76 could not be comprehended:[34] ... _pagatu_(?)[35] from
the wealth of great Lords as his tribute
77 I imposed upon him; the chariots and warlike engines of
the land of the Khatti I laid up in my magazines; their
hostages I took.
In those days (I received) the tribute of Guzi
78 of the land of Yahanai, silver, gold, tin,[36] ... oxen,
sheep, vestments of wool and linen I received: from Kunalua
the capital of Lubarna I withdrew,
79 of the land of the Khatti, crossed the Orontes,[37] and after
a halt left it, and to the borders
80 of the land of Yaraki and of Yahturi I went round: the
land[38] ... had rebelled: from the Sangura after a
halt I withdrew;
81 I made a detour to the lands of Saratini and Girpani[39]
... I halted and advanced to Aribue a fortified city
belonging to Lubarna of the land of the Khatti:
82 the city I took to myself; the wheats and barleys of Luhuti
I collected; I allowed his palace to be sacked and settled
Assyrians there.[40]
83 While I was stationed at Aribua, I captured the cities of the
land of Luhiti and slew many of their soldiers; overthrew
razed and burned them with fire;
84 the soldiers whom I took alive I impaled on stakes close
by their cities.
In those days I occupied the environs of Lebanon; to the
great sea
85 of Phoenicia[41] I went up: up to the great sea my arms I
carried: to the gods I sacrificed; I took tribute of the
Princes of the environs of the sea-coast,
86 of the lands of Tyre, Sidon, Gebal, Maacah[42] Maizai Kaizai,
of Phoenicia and Arvad
87 on the sea-coast--silver, gold, tin, copper, _kam_ of copper,
vestments of wool and linen, _pagutu_[43] great and small,
88 strong timber, wood of _ki_[44] teeth of dolphins, the produce
of the sea, I received as their tribute: my yoke they accepted;
the mountains of Amanus[45] I ascended; wood for
bridges,
89 pines, box, cypress, _li_-wood, I cut down; I offered sacrifices
for my gods; a trophy[46] of victory I made, and in a
central place I erected it;
