minas of silver;[37] ivory,
a great deal of copper, iron in an innumerable quantity,
some of the stone _ka_, alabaster, the minerals _pi digili_,
flattened _pi sirru_ for witness seals, blue and purple stuffs,
cloth of _berom_ and cotton, ebony; cedar, and cypress wood,
freshly cut from the fine forests on Mount Amanus, in
honor of Bel, Zarpanit, Nebo, and Tasmit, and the gods
who inhabit the sanctuaries of the Sumers and Accads; all
that from my accession to the third year of my reign.[38]

42 Upir, King of Dilmun who dwells at the distance of 30
parasanges[39] in the midst of the sea of the rising sun and
who is established as a fish, heard of the favor that the gods
Assur, Nebo, and Merodach had accorded me; he sent
therefore his expiatory gift.

43 And the seven Kings of the country of Iahnagi, of the
country of Iatnan (who have established and extended
their dwellings at a distance of seven days' navigation in
the midst of the sea of the setting sun, and whose name
from the most ancient ages until the renewal of the lunar
period,[40] none of the Kings my fathers in Assyria and
Chaldea[41] had heard), had been told of my lofty achievements
in Chaldea and Syria, and my glory, which had
spread from afar to the midst of the sea. They subdued
their pride and humbled themselves; they presented themselves
before me at Babylon, bearing metals, gold, silver,
vases, ebony wood, and the manufactures of their country;
they kissed my feet.

44 While I endeavored to exterminate Bet-Iakin and reduce
Aram, and render my rule more efficacious in the country
of Iatbur, which is beyond Elam, my Lieutenant, the Governor
of the country of Kue, attacked Mita, the Moschian,
and 3,000 of his towns; he demolished these towns, destroyed
them, burnt them with fire, and led away many
captives. And this Mita the Moschian, who had never
submitted to the Kings my predecessors and had never
changed his will, sent his envoy to me to the very borders
of the sea of the rising sun, bearing professions of allegiance
and tributes.

45 In these days, these nations and these countries that my
hand has conquered, and that the gods Assur, Nebo, and
Merodach have made bow to my feet, followed the ways
of piety. With their help I built at the feet of the _musri_,
following the divine will and the
