eir wealth I plundered. This city and its palace I burnt with fire, I destroyed and ruined. [Footnote 1: Dummuk. (Dr. Oppert.)] [Footnote 2: Sharisha. (Fox Talbot.) Siris. (Dr. Hincks.)] [Footnote 3: Bridge. (Fox Talbot.)] [Footnote 4: Aliens. (Dr. Hincks.)] [Footnote 5: Nami River. (Fox Talbot.) Blood River. (Dr. Hincks.)] [Footnote 6: Tirikali fil Tirikali. (Fox Talbot.) Kiliantiru eldest son of Campineiyusan, (Dr. Hincks.)] [Footnote 7: Literally, "three sixties."] VII The city of _Urrakluiras_ their stronghold which was in the country of Panari, I went toward. The exceeding fear of the power of Ashur, my Lord, overwhelmed them. To save their lives they took their gods, and fled like birds to the tops of the lofty mountains. I collected my chariots and warriors, and crossed the Tigris. _Shedi Teru_[1] the son of _Khasutkh_[2] King of _Urrakluiras_ on my arriving in his country submitted to my yoke.

(Dr. Hincks.) Tiri-dates. (Fox Talbot.)] [Footnote 2: Kuthakin. (Fox Talbot.) Kha-thukhi. (Dr. Hincks.)] [Footnote 3: "Nirmah mamkhar." (Dr. Hincks.)] [Footnote 4: Lacuna.] [Footnote 5: "Yem." (Fox Talbot.)] VIII From among my valiant servants, to whom Ashur the Lord gave strength and power, in 30 of my chariots, select companies of my troops and bands of my warriors who were expert in battle, I gathered together. I proceeded to the extensive country of _Miltis_,[1] which did not obey me; it consisted of strong mountains and a difficult land. Where it was easy I traversed it in my chariots: where it was difficult I went on foot. In the country of Aruma, which was a difficult land, and impracticable to the passage of my chariots, I left the chariots and marched in front of my troops.
