Ilu-shuma, ..., vice-regent of Ashur, beloved of the god Ashur and the goddess Ishtar, son of Shalim-ahum, vice-regent of Ashur, Shalim-ahum, vice-regent of Ashur, son of Puzur-Ashur, vice-regent of Ashur:
Ilu-shuma, vice-regent of Ashur, built the temple for the goddess Ishtar, his mistress, for his life. Moreover, the foundation of the wall was firm and I firmly established it for my future. Two towers were opened up in the city Abih, the capital of the god Ashur, and I built a wall in that tower. One tower was destroyed for the destruction of the city wall, one tower another for the destruction of the city wall.
I surrounded, conquered, and plundered the land of Akkad and its environs. I surrounded, conquered, and plundered the land of Amurru, Assyria, and Uruk, Awal, and Kismar, the cities of the god Kadi, as far as the city Amel.
Ilu-shuma, vice-regent of Ashur, beloved of the god Ashur and the goddess Ishtar, son of Shalim-ahum, vice-regent of Ashur: Shalim-ahum, vice-regent of Ashur, was the son of Puzur-Ashur I, vice-regent of Ashur:
Ilu-shuma, vice-regent of Ashur, built the temple for the goddess Ishtar, his mistress, for his life. A façade and new wall I constructed and subdivided house-plots for my city. The god Ashur opened for me two springs in Mount Abih and I made bricks for the wall by these two springs. The water of one spring flowed down to the Aushum Gate while the water of the other spring flowed down to the Wertum Gate.
I established the freedom anduraru of the Akkadians and their children. I purified their copper. I established their freedom anduraru from the marshes and Ur and Nippur, Awal, and Kismar, Der of the god Ishtaran, as far as the city Ashur.
