-wood, cedar wood from Amanus I destined for
Bit-Hira,
and my pleasure house called Azmaku, for the temple
of the Moon and Sun the exalted gods.
91 I proceeded to the land of Iz-mehri, and took possession
of it throughout: I cut down beams for bridges of _mehri_
trees, and carried them to Nineveh; (and)
92 to Istar Lady of Nineveh (on) my knees I knelt.[47] In the
eponym of Samas-nuri[48] in the honor of the great Lord
Assur my Lord on the 20th of April[49]
93 from Calach I withdrew--crossed the Tigris--descended
to the land of Kipani, and there, in the city of Huzirina,
received the tribute of the governors of its cities.
94 While stationed at Huzirana I received the tribute of
Ittiel of Nilaya, Giridadi of Assaya, in silver
95 gold, oxen, sheep. In those days I received the tribute in
beams for bridges, cedar wood, silver, gold of Qatuzili
96 of Commagene[50]--withdrew from Huzirina and took my
way upward along the banks of the Euphrates; to Kubbu.[51]
97 I crossed over into the midst of the towns of Assa in
Kirkhi over against Syria. The cities of Umalie and
Khiranu
98 powerful cities centrally situated in Adani I captured; numbers
of their soldiers I slew; spoil beyond reckoning
99 I carried off; the towns I overthrew and demolished; 150
cities of their territory I burned with fire; then from Khiranu
100 I withdrew; I passed over to the environs of the land of
Amadani; I went down among the cities of Dirrie, and
the cities within the lands of
101 Amadani and Arquanie I burned with fire: Mallanu which
is in the middle of Arquanie I took as my own possession;
I withdrew from Mallanu
102 to the cities of Zamba on the sandy outskirt, which I
burned with fire: I passed the river Sua, proceeding up
to the Tigris whose cities
103 on those banks and on these banks of the Tigris in Arkanie
to a heap I reduced: its waters overflowed all Kirkhi: my
yoke they took;
104 their hostages I exacted; a Viceroy of my own I appointed
over them: in the environs of the land of Amadani I
arrived: at Barza-Nistun
105 To Dandamusa the fortified city of Ilani son of Zamani
I drew near and laid siege to it: my warriors like birds
of prey rushed upon them;
106 600 of their warriors I put to the sword and decapitated;
400 I took alive;
107 3,000 captives I brought for
