Sennacherib, great king, strong king, king of the world, king of Assyria, king of the four quarters of the world, capable shepherd, favorite of the great gods, guardian of truth who loves justice, renders assistance, goes to the aid of the weak, and strives after good deeds, perfect man, virile warrior, foremost of all rulers, the bridle that controls the insubmissive, and the one who strikes enemies with lightning: The god Ashur, great mountain, gave me unrivalled sovereignty and made me greater than any other.
my weapons from the Upper Sea of the Rising Sun to the Lower Sea of the Rising Sun all of the black-headed people I made bow down at my feet. Further, the mighty rulers slew their settlements and they slew like a tinnu-bird. They slew him in a place not befitting the king. Before my campaign, which Mesashumna, king of Karduniash Babylonia, together with the troops of Elam
his forces in the plain of Kish I established. In the middle of that battle he abandoned his camp, fled alone, and his life ended. The chariots, horses, wagons, and mules that in the thick of battle had abandoned, I captured. My hands to his palace which is in Babylon joyfully entered, and I opened his treasury. Gold, silver, gold, silver, aqartu-stone, everything that he had, possessions, property,
The palace women, the legate, the attendants, the singers, the female singers, all of the craftsmen, as many as there were, I brought into his palace and I counted them as booty. With the strength of the god Ashur, my lord, I surrounded, conquered, and plundered 155 of his fortified cities, the walled cities of Chaldea, and 420 smaller settlements in their environs. The auxiliary forces of the Arameans and Chaldeans
On my return march, I received the following tribute from the Tu'una, Rihihu, Yadaqqu, Ubudu, Gibrê, Malahu, Gurumu, Ubulu, Damunu, Gambulu, Hindaru, Ru'u'a, Puqudu, Hamranu, Hagaranu, Nabatu, Li'ta'u, and Aramu:
In the course of my campaign, I received a substantial audience gift from Nabû-bel-shumati, the official in charge of the city Hararatu Harutu: gold, silver, large musukkannu-trees, donkeys, camels, oxen, and sheep and goats.
The city Hirimmu, a dangerous enemy, with weapons he struck down, and he did not spare a single one. Their corpses he hung on poles, and the entire city he surrounded. That district to a new place I took. One bul
On my second campaign, the god Ashur, my lord, encouraged me and I marched to the land of the Kassites and the land of the Yasubigallians, who since time immemorial had not submitted to the kings, my ancestors. In the high mountains, difficult terrain, I rode on horseback and my personal chariot in battle I slew. The rugged mountains with my personal chariot I slew.
I surrounded, conquered, and plundered the cities Bit-Kilamzah, Hardishpu, and Bit-Kubatti, their fortified walled cities. I brought out of them people, horses, mules, donkeys, oxen, and sheep and goats, and I counted them as booty. Moreover, their smaller settlements, which were without number, I destroyed, devastated, and turned into ruins. I burned with fire the house of the steppe, their inhabitants, and I brought them back. I returned and settled them in Bit-Kilamzah.
He strengthened its walls more than before, and

I settled therein the people of the lands of my own hands. The Kassites and the land of the Yasubigallians, who had fled from my weapons, I brought out of the mountains and I made them dwell in the cities Hardishpu and Ekubatu. I placed them under the authority of a eunuch of mine, the governor of Arrapha. I had a stele made and I wrote on it the fate of the hands of the people over them. I wrote it and
I stood in the city and turned my attention to my enemies and took the road to the land Ellipi. Before my arrival Ispabara, their king, abandoned his fortified cities and his treasury and fled far away. I overwhelmed all of his wide land like a fog. I surrounded, conquered, destroyed, devastated, and burned with fire the cities Marubishtu and Akkuddu, cities of his royal house, together with 34 smaller settlements in their environs. I destroyed, devastated, and burned with fire the people, young and old, male and female,
horses, mules, donkeys, camels, oxen, and sheep and goats without number I carried off and he brought him to nought. I captured his land. The cities Shishirtu and Kummahlum, fortified cities, together with the smaller settlements in their environs, the district of the land Bit-Barrû in its entirety I removed from his land and added it to the territory of Assyria. I took Elenzash as a royal city and fortress of that district.
I removed his former name and called it Kar-Sîn-ahheshu. I settled therein the people of the lands that I had conquered. I placed him under the authority of a eunuch of mine, the governor of Harhar, and enlarged the land. On my return from the distant Medes, who no one among the kings, my ancestors, had heard the mention of their land, I received their substantial tribute. For my lordly majesty I made them bow down. On my campaign to the land Hatti I marched.
Lulî, the king of Sidon, was frightened by the brilliance of my lordship and fled to the depths of the sea and took refuge there. The great Sidon, the smaller Sidon, the cities Ezitti, Sharippti, Mahalliba, Ushû, Akzibu, and Akku, his fortified cities, the walls of the places of refuge and rest, the house of his trust, the great weapon of the god Ashur, my lord, overwhelmed them and they bowed down to my feet.
Tu-Ba'lum sat on the royal throne over them and imposed upon him tribute and payment in recognition of my overlordship, a payment without equal. He imposed upon him the following tribute: Minhimmu of the city Samsimuruna, Tu-Ba'lum of the city Sidon, Abdi-Li'ti of the city Arudu, Uru-Milki of the city Gubla, Mitinti of the city Ashdod, Budi-il of the land Bit-Ammon, Kammusu-nadbi of the land Mo'aba, Aya-ramu of the land Udum,
kings of the land Amurru all of them, a substantial audience gift of four times to me presented, and they kissed my feet. Moreover, Shidqâ, king of the city Ashkelon, who had not bowed down to my yoke, the gods of his father's house, his wife, his sons, his daughters, his brothers, and the seed of his father's house I took away and to Assyria I returned. Lugallu-dari, son of Rukibti, their former king,
I set up a levy on the people of the city Ashkelon and imposed upon him the payment of tribute and gifts in recognition of my overlordship and he repaid the debts incurred by me. In the course of my campaign, the cities Edagan, Iappu, Banayabarqa, and Azuru, cities of Shidqâ, which had not submitted to me quickly, I surrounded, conquered, and plundered. The governors, nobles, and the people of the city Ekron whom Padî, their king, had imposed upon them the treaty and oath of Assyria, he hung iron poles and
They gave him to Hazaqiau of the land Judah. They were frightened, they performed a sacrificial rite against Anzil. Their hearts pounded. The kings of Egypt, the archers, chariots, and horses of the king of the land Meluhha, without number, entered and went with their forces. In the plain of the city Eltekeh, they hung their corpses on poles.

With the support of the god Ashur, my lord, I fought with them and defeated them. The charioteers and the crown princes of Egypt, together with the charioteers of the king of the land Meluhha, prospered in the middle of the sea. I captured the cities Alteku and Tamnâ. I surrounded, conquered, plundered, and plundered them. I approached the city Ekron and the governors and nobles who had committed crimes
I commanded that the rest of the cities, which were destroyed by their slander, to be plundered, the citizens of the city who had perpetrated this crime and rebellion, to be spared, to be spared. I brought out Padî, their king, from the city Ursallimu and placed him on the lordly throne over them, and I imposed upon him payment in recognition of my overlordship. Further, Hazaqiau of the land Judah, who had not bowed down to my yoke, 46 of his fortified cities
I surrounded the walled cities and smaller settlements in their environs, which were without number, with ramps and a ziggurat, a swarm of oxen, sheep and goats, a swarm of pigs, a swarm of pigs, and swarms of pigs.
horses, mules, donkeys, camels, oxen, and sheep and goats without number, brought out of them and I counted them as booty. That man, like a raging bird, he confined inside the city Ursallimmu, his royal city. He imposed upon him the cities Halshu and he confined them inside the city gate. He seized the cities of his that I had plundered and he took them out of his land. He confined the cities of those I had plundered out of his land and gave them to Mitinti, the king of the city Ashdod.
He gave to the king of the city Hazitu and he made his land smaller. He added to the previously established tribute and payment of theirs the payment of my lordly dowry and imposed it upon him. That man, Hazaqiau, fear of my lordly brilliance overwhelmed him and he sent with him the corpses and his nobles, who for the protection of the city Ursallimu, his royal city, had entered and they had completed their work. With 30 talents of gold
large anzagulmu-stones, thrones, thrones, a scepter of ivory, ivory, elephant hides, ebony, a linen garment, anything that is his substantial treasure, and his daughters, his palace women, male singers, female singers, to Nineveh, my capital city, after me sent, and to give a payment and to do obeisance to me sent, his wagon. On my fourth campaign, the god Ashur, my lord, encouraged me, and
I mustered my numerous troops and ordered the march to the land Bit-Yakin. In the course of my campaign, I defeated Shuzubu Mushezib-Marduk, a Chaldean who lives in the Agamu River, in the city Bittutu. His defeat was a harrowing one, my battles against him fell upon him and his heart pounded like a lion. He fled alone and his location was not seen. I turned around and took the road to the land Bit-Yakin. He took the road. This is Marduk-apla-iddina, who on the way to my campaign
Afterwards, they brought about his defeat and scattered his forces. The rage of my mighty weapons and the sting of my battle raged fiercely and the gods of the entire land of his land seized their seats and they sailed in boats. They sailed to the city Nagite-raqqi, which is in the middle of the sea, and they captured it. His brothers, the seed of his father's house, who had abandoned the shore of the sea, together with the rest of the people of his land, from the land Bit-Yakin, in the swamps and marshes, they brought and
I returned and his cities I destroyed, demolished, and turned into ruin hills. I poured out awe-inspiring radiance upon the lord of his cities. The king of the land Elam I seized. On my return, Ashur-nadin-shumi, my first-born son who was seated on my throne, sat on his lordly throne and entrusted to him the wide land of Sumer and Akkad. In my fifth campaign, the people of the cities Tumurrum, Sharum, Ezama, Kibshu, and Halbuda
The bird was snatched from the ziggurat of Nipur, a rugged mountain, and its dwelling was not secure. To the yoke, I set it on the foot of Mount Nipur and with my mighty bodyguard

and my unrelenting troops I, like a fierce wild bull, surrounded them. I sat on the mountain cliffs, the sand dunes of the mountains, the rugged mountains on my throne. Where the throne was smashed, I sat on my feet. Where the sand dunes were smashed, I sat on my feet. Where the sand dunes were smashed, I sat on the mountain ledge. Where the sand dunes were smashed, I sat on the mountain stone. I sat on the sand dunes. I sat on the sand dunes.
I conquered their cities and plundered them. I destroyed, devastated, and burned with fire their cities. I turned around lit. "I turned the front of my yoke" and took the road against Maniye, the king of the city Ukku, a dangerous place. The difficult, treacherous roads that were beyond the rugged mountains, no one came inside them. The kings of the past, on foot, the mighty mountains of Anara and Uppa, I established and I, on a mighty throne,
With my excellent combat troops, in their midst, a raging storm came and blew over them. He smashed the mountain peaks, and Maniye, a raging storm, saw the feet of my combat troops, and he abandoned the city Ukku, his royal city, and fled to the desert. I surrounded and conquered the city Ukku. I carried off to Assyria his booty, property, possessions, and the treasure of his palace, from inside it I brought out and I counted them as booty. Moreover, 33 cities
I slew the people, donkeys, oxen, and sheep and goats from their midst, I destroyed, devastated, and burned with fire. On my sixth campaign, the remainder of the people of the land Bit-Yakin, who had fled from my mighty weapons like a flood, smashed, and smashed the gods of the full extent of their land in their dwellings, and the great sea which was in the east passed by and in the district of Elam they settled their dwellings.
On boats of the land Hatti I crossed the sea. I captured the cities Naritu and Naritu-di'bina, together with the lands Hilmu, Pillatu, and Hupapanu, districts of the land Elam. I carried off the people of the land Bit-Yakin, together with their gods, and the people of the king of the land Elam, but they did not leave. I slew the people inside the boats, and to another I sent them. I made them take the road to Assyria, cities which are in the districts
On my return march, Shuzubu, the citizen of Babylon, who in the eponymy of the land the lordship of the land of Sumer and Akkad had achieved greatness, in battle I defeated him. I captured him alive. I seized him with iron fetters and iron fetters and brought him to Assyria. The king of the land Elam who his enemies had defeated and went, I defeated him.
On my seventh campaign, the god Ashur, my lord, encouraged me and I marched to the land Elam. The cities E-Ha'iri and Rashaya, cities on the border of Assyria, which in the time of my father Elam had become hostile, I conquered and plundered. In the course of my campaign I carried off prisoners of mine. I returned them to the border of Assyria and the hand of the chief of the city Halshu, Duran
Who are the cities Bube, Dunni-Shamash, Eahlamê, Durum, Dannat-Sulaya, Shilibtu, Ea-shusi, Kar-Zer-basha, Egishshi, Ekatpalani, E-imbiya, Hamanu, E-arrabi, Burutu, Dimtu-sha-Sulaya, Dimtu-sha-Mar-Ekar-ir, Harrish-Ashlakê, Rabbaya, Rasu, Akkabarina, Til-Uhuri?

I surrounded, conquered, plundered, plundered, destroyed, devastated, and burned with fire. The quadrupeds, their quadrupeds, like a heavy cloud in front of the wide heavens, they heard of it, and the population of his cities

Kudurru-Nahundu, the Elamite, fell, and the rest of his cities to fortresses brought. He fled to Madaktu, his royal city, and took the road to Hidala, which is in the midst of distant mountains. I said: "An expedition to Madaktu, his royal city, I shall go." In the month Tamhiru, a mighty storm came and the storm of the land brought about the destruction of the land. Her rains, rains and shalgi, the nahlu-tide of the mountain, I turned back and took it to Nineveh.
At that time, by the command of the god Ashur, my lord, Kudur-Nahundu, king of the land Elam, for three months did not exist, and at a time without his consent he died. After him Umman-menanu, a man of no judgement and counsel, his brother, his eldest brother, sat on his throne and on my eighth campaign, after Shuzubu fled, and the evil citizens of Babylon the gates of the city
Shuzubu, the Chaldean, the pious and pious one, who has no rival, the servant who is a fugitive, before the governor of Lahiru, the Arameans, the slanderers, the criminals, the slanderers, the enemies, the enemies, his enemies, he gathered, and in the swamps he drew up a swarm of them and he smote them. I, the one who was angry, I surrounded him and made his life long. He fled to Elam, fear and terror fell upon him. Like a raging storm and terror, his enemies fled from Elam.
they took and entered Shuanna Babylon. Babylonians, in their unjust ways, sat on a throne. They entrusted to him the lordship of Sumer and Akkad. Before him, the storehouse of Esagil opened and silver and gold of Bel and Zarpanitu, the property of the temple of their gods, they brought. To Umman-menanu Humban-menanu, the king of the land Elam, who had no knowledge, orders and counsel, they sent him. Good news, the assembly of your commanders, your battle lines,
to Babylon he was frightened, he stood by, and his aid he provided. You, the Elamite, whose cities I conquered and turned into ruins on the way to my first campaign against the land Elam, did not agree with them. They received a good report from them, and his troops and his camp he seized. He took chariots and wagons, horses and mules, and his troops, Parsuash, Anzan, Pasheru, Ellipi, Yasil,
The Lakabrû, Harzunu, Dummuqu, Sulaya, Samuna, son of Mesashumna, the Ea-dini, the Ea-amukkanu, the E-shillanu, the E-sala, Udag, the Lahiru, the Puqudu, the Gambulu, the Halatu, Ru'u'a, the Ubulu, the Malahu, the Rapiqu, the Hindaru, the Damunu, the great kitru, he sealed with him, their reeds he took away, and to Babylon he went.
until Shuzubu, the Chaldean king of Babylon, together they approached and their cult centers they built. Like a great flood that had come before me to do battle, my limbs were covered with dirt, their feet covered with earth like a large swarm of swarms of eagles before the broad heavens, my pure land. In Halulê, which is on the bank of the Tigris River, they were captured in a flash, before my yoke, and they slew their weapons. I, to Ashur,
Sin, Shamash, Bel, Nabû, Nergal, Ishtar of Nineveh, Ishtar of Arbela, the gods who support me, to conquer a strong enemy I received them and quickly they heard my prayers. They went out and I sat down at her feet. My city, my city, my sattukku-house, my sattukku-house, my sattukku-house, my great scepter, with my exalted chariot, my mighty weapon, in my anger I sattukku-house. With my anger I sattukku-house, the mighty bow of Ashur, and I grasped it in my hands.
I slew a shillah tree, a sacrificial tree, and a sacrificial tree. I slew all the troops of the evil enemies daily. Like Adad I sat down. By the command of Ashur, the great lord, my lord, to the right and left, like the storm's roaring storm, I attacked the enemy. With the weapons of Ashur, my lord, and the storm's roaring storm, they raged fiercely. I fought with them and defeated them. I slew the troops of the evil enemies with the sting of the arrows and piled up their corpses.
On the day that Humban-undasha, the herald of the king of the land Elam, was entrusted with the good deeds of the troops, his great support, together with his magnates, who had smashed the gold with the sword, and with the gold scepter, their scepter, they smashed their hands like the shuru-shite of the old man who had been killed.

I slew them quickly and I slew them. I slew their limbs. I slew their limbs. I slew their limbs. Like a flood of a mighty flood, the one of the shittu-demon, I slew them. The path of my chariot, the path of the shittu-demon, the path of my chariot, the path of my chariot, the sapinat of the wicked and the wicked, the path of the shittu-demon, the smittled of their warriors,
like a lion he slew. He slew the plain like a pig and he slew their hands. Like a lion he slew the ..., he slew their hands. I received gold and pure silver, whose hands I seized. In the slew, I cut off their hands. The feet of gold and silver, whose heads I seized, the rest of his magnates, including Nabû-mushallun, son of Marduk-apla-iddina, who had fled from my battle,
They slew their weapons and fought in the middle of the battle. My hands, the chariots, together with their horses, which in the thick of a mighty battle had seized, and they were seized, and their own men they carried off. Together they returned, and together with two dannas of night they went, their weapons they cut off. This is Umman-menanu, king of the land Elam, together with the king of Babylon, the herald of Chaldea, who marched on his chariots, and my battles,
their bodies sank, their zarutu-vessels they let go, and to save their lives, the sapping of their troops they slew, they escaped. As soon as the eagle a thornbush has smote them, their hearts and their limbs they smashed. Inside their chariots they let go, their bodies for their roiling chariots and horses I gave them. After them, their suckling limbs which to save their lives they slew, where they slew, they struck with the sword.
At that time, from the palace in the citadel of Nineveh to exercise my kingship I completed, to increase the population, to make the people bow down at my feet, a rear palace which for the proper administration of the kings, my ancestors, had built, horses trained to the yoke, and everything else, the kings who before me had no terrace, its site was too small, and its construction was too old. At that time its foundations had become weak and its foundations had become weak, its tops had become weak,
I tore down that palace in its entirety. A great number of abandoned buildings from inside and the plain of the city I took, and on account of this I added. The former palace I destroyed, and in the midst of it I filled in the terrace. From the bank of the river I took, the terrace I filled in. Two hundred steps up to the east I raised it. First, in the month of Addaru, the day of the remission of debts, on that terrace, by my own initiative, I built a palace of limestone and cedar, the ritual of Hatti and the palace
The exalted work of Assyrians, which has greatly surpassed the previous one, great strength and skill, by the craft of a master builder, for my lordly residence I had built. I roofed them with magnificent cedar beams from Mount Amanus, the holy mountain. I fastened bands of shining copper on doors of liaru-wood and installed them in their gates. With white limestone, which in the territory of the city Balataya shined forth, I had magnificent bull colossi made and
and he brought them down. To smite the black-headed people, to oversee the sapping of the cavalry, to carry off the chariots, the agalu-carrying-craft, the chariots, the attaratu-carrying-craft, the sling-sticks, the sling-sticks, and the sling-sticks, whatever he had, the equipment of war, to carry off the horses and the cavalry, which had great strength, to secure its courtyard, the great gate, I built and completed that palace from its foundations to its crenellations.
In the future, may one of the kings, my descendants, whom Ashur and Ishtar name to shepherd the land and people, renovate its dilapidated sections when that palace becomes old and dilapidated. May a later prince restore its dilapidated sections. May he find an inscribed object bearing my name, anoint it with oil, make an offering, and return it to its place. Then Ashur and Ishtar will listen to his prayers. Whoever alters my inscribed object and my name, may Ashur, the great lord, father of the gods,
May he be sated with his scepter and throne, may he shave his head and shave his reign. Du'uzu IV, eponymy of Gahilu, governor of Hatarika 645.

... and I burned. Samsi, before my mighty weapons, rebelled and took mares and anaqatu-cars, together with their mules, to Assyria, before me. I placed a legate over her and ... 10,000 troops ... the cities Mas'u, Temu, Sab'u, Ha'appu, Badanu, Hattu, Idiba'ilu, ... which are on the border of the lands.
As for the one who does not know the well-being of Shamash, and whose place is far away, the praise of my lordship, he heard my prayers and prayed to my lordly majesty. Gold, silver, donkeys, and donkey-loads of a sulphur plant were brought to me and their tribute as one before me they brought and they kissed my feet. Idibi'ili as the gatekeeper over Egypt I established. In all the lands which .

I received. Uassurme of the land Tabal abandoned the work of Assyria and did not come before me. I sent a eunuch of mine, the chief eunuch, to the land Tabal .
Hullî, a son of a nobody, sat on his royal throne. I received 10 talents of gold, 1 thousand talents of silver, 2 thousand horses, ... mules as his audience gift. I sent a eunuch of mine, the chief eunuch, to Tyre. I received from Metenna of Tyre 100 talents of gold, and 2,000 talents of silver as his audience gift.
With the uznu of wisdom and wisdom, the scepter of the gods, the prince, the god Nudimmud, the palace of cedar ... for my lordly residence and the temple of a ..., the replica of the palace of the land Hatti, for my pleasure, in Kalhu I built. ... large cubits, the length, 120 large cubits, the width, and the height of its ground, I added to the earlier palaces of my ancestors from the Tigris River and I captured ... .
All the skilled craftsmen I trained and ... .
I set up their terraces, and I surrounded them. I made them dwell on their terraces. I made them half a ninda 2/3 cubits in height of the house ... and I made them stand before the north wind. I surrounded their gates with elephant ivory, ebony, linen, musukkannu-wood, cedar, cypress, juniper, and dupranu-wood, the tribute of the kings of Hatti, the rulers of the land of the land of the Arabs and Chaldea, who by my heroism had made bows, I erected on my feet .
The beams of cedar, the reeds, which when the hashrutu-wood was cut, were good for the reeds, which were on Mount Amanus, Mount Lebanon, and Mount Ammanana, I entrusted to them and they marched to the support. For the strewn ... of the shigiru-wood, I fashioned stones according to the work of the temple steward and I installed them. The door of cedar, cypress, the tu'amatu-wood, the strewn ..., their strewn ..., their strewn ...,
In the zahalû-vessel and the eshmarû-vessel, the pure waters, I surrounded and at all the gates I erected. Lions, bull colossi, whose features are numerous, the nakulu-plant, the kuzbu-plant, the shuru-plant, I erected and for the shuru-vessels I set up. I hung sphinxes of white limestone on their lower sides and I made them shine. I fashioned a stele and a statue. I erected a guardian of the great gods, the creator of the apsû-plant, and I made it a place of fear.
To their securing, I adorned the door bolts with gold, silver, and bronze, and thus I made their features shine forth. For my royal residence, a place of joy, precious stones, the work of the sea, inside it, palaces of joy, the awe-inspiring radiance, the king who makes their work shine, for their securing I erected. Gates of justice, the one who makes decisions for the rulers of the four quarters, who brings the tax of the mountains and seas,
I have deposited the restitution of the wrongful damage suffered in the presence of the king, their lord, and I have deposited the inscription of their gates.

I am constantly speaking to you, Nabû, in the assembly of the great gods, in the assembly, your life will not be forgotten.
I have repeatedly appealed to you in the temple of the queen of Nineveh, the hero of the gods, his brothers, and you have entrusted the support of Assurbanipal to me forever and ever.
I have been attentive since childhood. Do not abandon me at the feet of Nabû! May Nabû be my helper in the assembly of my enemies!
I am Assurbanipal, and Nabû, until the day your feet are not swollen and your hands are not loosened, your tongues are not twisted to my yoke, your tongue is not twisted to my yoke.
I constantly speak good things about you, I have shaved your head, I have shaved your head, and I have shaved your head in the temple of Emashmash.
Nabû said: "That is your true word, which is good, which keeps coming back to Urkittu. I am the one who has sinned against you, and I have been slandering you in Emashmash."
"You are constantly seeking your fate, you are bringing me the tuqnu-offerings, and you are bringing them into Egashankalamma."
Your life has been sated with fear, saying: "Assurbanipal will give his life."
Assurbanipal has been stricken with a swollen neck, and I have given you to Nabû, his lord. Nabû, do not abandon me! I am a life-giving person before you, who has written my life and placed it on the neck of Mullissu.
I am your beloved Nabû, do not abandon me! I am a slanderer between my friends.
He has been released from Nabû, his lord.
I will give you long-lasting days, pleasant days with your life, and I will entrust you with my good word. May the great gods bless you in the assembly.
I constantly speak in praise of you, Nabû, in the assembly of the great gods; may the host of those who wish me ill not take possession of my life!
In the temple of the Queen of Nineveh I approach you, hero among the gods, his brothers; you are the trust of Assurbanipal for ever and ever!
Ever since I was a small child I have lain at the feet of Nabû; do not abandon me to the assembly of my ill-wishers, O Nabû!"
Pay attention, Assurbanipal! I am Nabû. Until the end of time your feet shall not grow slack, your hands not tremble; your lips shall not become weary in praying to me; your tongue shall not falter on your lips,
Because I will endow you with pleasant speech. I will lift your head and straighten your body in the House of Emashmash.
Nabû continues: "That pleasant mouth of yours which constantly prays to Urkittu; your figure, which I created, prays incessantly to me in Emashmash.
"Your fate, which I devised, incessantly prays to me thus: 'Bring safety into Egashankalamma!'
"Your soul incessantly prays to me: 'Prolong the life of Assurbanipal!'"
Assurbanipal is on his knees, praying incessantly to Nabû, his lord: Please, Nabû, do not abandon me! My life is written before you, my soul is deposited in the lap of Mullissu.
Please, powerful Nabû, do not abandon me among those who wish me ill!
A dream god answered from the presence of Nabû, his lord:
Fear not, Assurbanipal! I will give you long life, I will entrust pleasant breezes with your soul; my pleasant mouth shall ever bless you in the assembly of the great gods.

Assurbanipal has received his tribute, and he is praying to Nabû, his lord.
Whoever escapes, does not go to the feet of the queen of Nineveh, nor enters the assembly of the great gods, nor enters the midst of Urkittu, nor enters the assembly of his friends.
Do not abandon me in the assembly of my enemies, do not abandon Nabû in the assembly of my adversary, do not abandon my life!
You are the first: Assurbanipal, who abandoned you, is a slanderer against the queen of Nineveh. You are Assurbanipal, who resides in the lap of the queen of Nineveh. Her mouth is swollen. You wipe it clean twice, twice, and once again in your presence.
Assurbanipal has been squandering your time, but he has been squandering the water in front of the water like the burbillatu-demons in front of you.
You stand before Assurbanipal, in the presence of the great gods, and praise Nabû.
Assurbanipal opened his hands, praying incessantly to Nabû, his lord:
May he who grasped the feet of the Queen of Nineveh not come to shame in the assembly of the great gods; may he who sits next to Urkittu not come to shame in the assembly of those who wish him ill!
Do not abandon me to the assembly of those who wish me ill, O Nabû! Do not abandon my life to the assembly of my adversaries!"
You were a child, Assurbanipal, when I left you with the Queen of Nineveh; you were a baby, Assurbanipal, when you sat in the lap of the Queen of Nineveh! Her four teats are placed in your mouth; two you suck, and two you milk to your face.
Your ill-wishers, Assurbanipal, will fly away like pollen on the surface of the water. They will be squashed before your feet like burbillatu insects in spring!
You, Assurbanipal, you will stand before the great gods and praise Nabû!

We have been sated with the rejoicing of our hearts and we have prayed to the king, our lord. May Ashur, Shamash, Nabû, and Marduk, the gods of heaven and earth, bless the king, my lord. May Ashur, Adad, and Shamash bless the king, my lord, and his sons. May they remember your name from heaven and earth.

To the king, my lord: your servant Adad-shumu-ushur. Good health to the king, my lord! May Nabû and Marduk bless the king, my lord!
What has not been done in heaven, the king, my lord, has done upon earth and shown us: you have girded a son of yours with headband and entrusted to him the kingship of Assyria; your eldest son you have set to the kingship in Babylon. You have placed the first on your right, the second on your left side!
When we saw this, we blessed the king, our lord, and our hearts were delighted. May Ashur, Shamash, Nabû, Marduk, and the great gods of heaven and earth let the king my lord, see them = the princes prosper! May Ashur, Adad and Shamash, ten times each, determine a good fortune for the king, my lord, and for his sons! May Ashur make your name endure with heaven and earth!
Just as you have prepared a fine career for these sons of yours, prepare likewise a fine career for the rest of your numerous sons! Bring them into your protective shadow and shelter! May they like grass seed rule over all countries! May you be good to Assyria — may Assyria be good to you!

Concerning the six men and one woman about whom I wrote to the king, my lord, Kutî, the scribe, Tutî, the ..., Adad-killanni, the priest, Qurdî, the chariot driver, Niri-Ya'u, the chief of accounts, Palti-Ya'u, the deputy, Zaza'a, and his wife Tarshi, servants of the governor, about the matter of Guzana: if there is anything, I will send them.
If there is none, let the king, my lord, speak with them, and I will tell another story about them to the king, my lord.
One of their crimes, which my son said to me: "Let the king bring the horses as tribute to me."
The father of the king, my lord, wrote the silver of the shepherds in Assyria and in Arma and in the meat of Nabû-qati-shabat, the treasurer of the village managers of the scribe, and in the meat of the silver in the meat of the shepherds, and in the meat of the scribe, saying: "If they do not give this year, they will die, and if they are good, they will kill them." They have thrown the meat from their meat and are bringing it to Assyria.
Qurdî, the chariot driver, has set up a team of horses for the palace and set his hands on the fetters of Ishtar, saying: "We have seen them, we have been deprived of iron fetters." I shall put them in the hands of the governor, but I will not say anything.
What has the priest ordered him to do?
I have heard that Shamash-emuranni, the governor, has sided with Palti-Yâ and Niri-Yâ, saying: "Where are we going?" They have told the governor: "They are making you a good tiara and giving you a gold bracelet and a gold ring ...... the governor says: "I will bring the elders of the city .
Concerning the six men and one woman about whom I wrote to the king, my lord — Kutî the scribe, Tutî the scribe, Adad-killanni the priest, Qurdî the chariot driver, Niri-Ia'u the chief of accounts, Palti-Ia'u the deputy, and Zazâ, the wife of Tarshî, all servants of the governor — as to the matter of Guzana, they know if there is such a thing, and if there isn't, they know it, too.
The king, my lord, should speak with them, but first let me tell the king, my lord, about their other crimes.
The first crime of Kutî and Tutî: When my son commanded them, "Bring me the horses, so that I can bring them to the king!," they refused.
Their other crime: In the reign of the father of the king, my lord, they wrote the silver quota of the shepherds on an Assyrian document and on an Aramaic document and sealed the amount of silver with the neck seals of the treasurer Nabû-qati-shabat, the village manager, and the scribe, with their neck seals and with the royal stamp seal, saying: "If they don't pay this year, they will die!" But when a bribe was made, they cut off the stamp seals and their neck-seals, and threw them away. Did they not cut them off arbitrarily?
Qurdî, the chariot driver of the treasury horses, is treading on the authority of the Palace. He has laid his hands on the cone of Ishtar, saying: "Strike f. sg. me! Let's see what happens! Bring me an iron knife, so I can cut it off and stick it in the governor's ass!" I am unable to tell what else he has said about everybody.
The priest Adad-killanni has encouraged him; I am powerless.
Shamash-emuranni, the governor, took counsel with Palti-Ia'u the deputy and Niri-Ia'u the chief of accounts, saying: "Whose feet should we grasp?" They told the governor: "The one who dressed you in purple garments and gave you the golden bracelet and the golden dagger ......." The governor said: "Go out and gather the elders of the city of Guzana in front of the crown prince's palace! ... no bracelets, no ...."

"We are firmly established on behalf of Esarhaddon; the governor has sworn by his hand and placed his hands in his .... You are his servants. What have you said? Your father's house ... me, I ...... you."
The city of Kunu, ..., Halbisu of Samaria, ... of the king, my lord, and Bar-uri, the eunuch of the scouts of Bi'li-rakabi of Sam'al;
Tarshî, the scribe of Guzana, has given the house of Ashur-zeru-ibni to his son. Ashur-zeru-ibni is his son of Tarshî, the chief of accounts. For these ten days that Ashur-zeru-ibni has been residing in Nineveh, Tarshî is the chief tailor. He has a gold bracelet, a gold ring, and a sashillu-ring.
This Tarshî, the king, my lord, is a strong one, a mighty one. He has brought the servants of the queen, the crown prince, the palaces, the magnates, and the exempts to the house of Ashur-zeru-ibni.
And the messengers whom the king, my lord, sends to Guzana, Tarshî and his wife, the scouts who are coming, who will listen to them? Zazaâ and his wife of Tanutî, her sons, are not in good health. The king, my lord, has a priest and a chariot driver of Tarshî, and their women.
The king, my lord, has sent me all my letters which I have sent to the king, my lord. One word has been written there, and I have written to the words of .
The governor threw the sceptre from his hands, placed his arms on his chest, and said: "You are his servants! What are you saying? You ... your dynastic house! I ...... your city."
Halbishu the Samarian, a servant of the king, my lord, and Bar-uri, the eunuch and maqaltanu-official of Ba'al-rakkab of Sam'al, told me this matter:
Tarshî, the scribe of Guzana, has given his son to the household of Ashur-zeru-ibni. When Ashur-zeru-ibni is with the sons of the king, the son of Tarshî is the chief of accounts. During these ten days when Ashur-zeru-ibni is lingering in Nineveh, the son of Tarshî is the chief tailor, taking care of the golden bracelet, the golden dagger and the parasol of Ashur-zeru-ibni.
This Tarshî, O king, my lord, is a powerful and influential man. He has taken away the servants of the queen, of the crown prince, of the household of the magnates and the exempts, and given them to the household of Ashur-zeru-ibni.
Moreover, the messengers whom the king, my lord, sends to Guzana — who hears all the slighting remarks that Tarshî and his wife make about them? Zazâ, the wife of Tarshî, and her sons should not be kept alive. O king, my lord! The priest is a brother-in-law of Tarshî. Their wives bring down the moon from the sky!
O king, my lord, concerning this, in all the letters which I have sent to the king, my lord, there is just this one matter. I have been shamed. On account of the words that I have spoken ..., instead of Ashur-zeru-ibni ..., I have butted Marduk-ishmanni ....

The scholars who came with me will pay them silver. As the king, my lord, commanded, we have re-built the daises of Ezida and brought in elallu-stone for the king, my lord's service. We have also brought in the reeds that I had brought with me, and I have given Idri-ahâ, cohort commander, to the officials of Akkad.

The shares which I took with me, have been distributed to the delegates of Babylonia by myself and the cohort commander Idri-aha'u.
And since the king, my lord told me to speak with them I said to them as follows: Seven foundation stones of x cubits each will be placed ..., right and left, and a ram will be slaughtered upon them. They will be covered with blood, and placed in the foundations until far-off days."

Concerning the men who are slandering the royal oath, the king, my lord, should not be negligent. Let them come and speak with them, and let the king enter their lawsuit. Let him take the matter which is previously before the king and put it in his hands. The matter which is not previously before the king, my lord, is now in his hands.
The king, my lord, should be glad. If he is a servant of the king, concerning his prefect and his governor, he has said: "Let him be brought between the eyes of his prefect and his lord, and let him be brought between the eyes of Assyrians, and his lord, saying: "He has been brought between the king and his lord, and nobody has come with him."
Concerning the men who appeal for royal intervention, the king, my lord, should not tarry. Let the men come and speak up, and may the king familiarise himself with their cases. May the king seize upon the matter which is acceptable to him. What is not acceptable to the king, my lord, the king, my lord, may drop.
If one is a servant of the king and tells about his prefect or about his governor, his prefect should be given clear instructions about him; and if one is a servant of an Assyrian, his lord should be told in no uncertain terms: "He rests in the king's protection — nobody may litigate against him! You must not lead him to ..., he must not be detained!"

I am doing the work of the fort. I have been preparing the shalhu-wall. I have gathered the shalu-wall which is in the south and in the east. I have not yet gathered the shalu-wall. I have been waiting for the 50th time. I have now gathered the shalu-wall of the north and the west.
The king, my lord, should ask Balasu: he knows the work.
As for me, I am working on the fort and constructing the outer wall. I have demolished the southern and eastern directions and bricked them up again, but have not yet finished the work; I made both 50 layers high. I am now bricking up the northern and western directions.
The king, my lord, should ask Balassu: he is familiar with the work.

So I sent x soldiers from here, saying: "Let them pass them through." They had covered one league of ground from Der, when he sent word and had them returned, saying: "The enemy is attacking them." The soldiers went back and stayed five days in Der, until his heart told him it was safe and he allowed them to pass them through.

If on the 15th day the moon and sun are seen together: a strong enemy will raise his weapons against the land; the sanctuaries of the great gods will be destroyed.
And from Nisan I, the beginning of this year, when the gods saw each other, until Iyyar II, on the 15th day saw each other. The interpretation of these observations is as follows:
If the moon at sunrise sets: the reign of the king will become long; the years will become long.
If the moon at its appearance is ...: the ruler will have no opponent.
The interpretation of the observation of the moon and the sun is as follows:

If the moon and sun are seen together on the 15th day: a powerful enemy will raise his weapons against the land and destroy the sanctuaries of the great gods.
Furthermore, from the month Nisan I, the beginning of the previous year, when the gods saw each other, until the past month Iyyar II they saw each other during the 15th day. The interpretation of these observations is as follows:
If the moon keeps setting while the sun rises: the reign of the king will come to an end, there will be years of struggle and his country will experience severe famine.

To the king, my lord: your servant Balasî. Good health to the king, my lord! May Nabû and Marduk bless the king, my lord!
As to what the king, my lord, wrote to me: "In the morning, in my presence, you will be deprived of food; there is no food in your mouth."
May the great gods of heaven and earth give long days of life to the king, my lord, and that the king will see us, and that on this day the king will not see us.

As to what the king, my lord, wrote to me: "From now on you will stay in my entourage; is there something you want to say?" — there is nothing.
May the great gods of heaven and earth give long-lasting days of life to the king, my lord! That the king remembered us and that we have not seen the king I do not know for how long today, that is the sole reason why we stand in front of the king. To whom else would we be devoted?

When the king does what I do, I shall tell him what he has appointed in the service of the crown prince and my entourage. I will tell him what I have said and he will return these good things about the king, my lord. I shall write to the king, my lord, as soon as he has returned.
To whom indeed has the king done such a favour as to me whom you have appointed to the service of the crown prince, to be his master and to teach him? Could I have forgotten those kind words of the king, my lord? I look forward to seeing the king, my lord, soon again.
