2 Lahmu, the eshmarû-priest, the one who shattered my enemies,

At the Gate of the Rising Sun, the Rising Sun, and the Rising Sun, I made them dwell there. The hands of Sîn, Ningal, Nusku, and Sadarnunna, my lords, I took and, with joy and joy, a place of happiness inside it, I settled them there. A sattukku-offering of pure offerings before them I offered and presented. The first one, the Ehulhul, I filled with them, and the city on the road to its outskirts, like the middle of a month, I made its splendor shine.

Sin, king of the gods of heaven and earth, whose time had not yet come to an end, the cities and countries did not change their cultic rites. His shrine Ehulhul, the temple that is your dwelling, may the good fortune of the city and that temple be established for you. May the gods who dwell in heaven and earth bless you. The temple of Sin, the father who created them, for me, Nabonidus, king of Babylon, who restores that temple,

May Sin, king of the gods of heaven and earth, with his good radiance, look upon me with pleasure and may he constantly bless me with wailing and crying. May he lengthen my days, make my years long, and make my reign long. May he make my enemies bow down, may he cut down my enemies, may he destroy my foes, and destroy my foes. May Ningal, mother of the great gods, before Sin his beloved speak of me. May Shamash and Ishtar, his bright heart,

To Sin, the father who created them, may he speak good things about me. May Nusku, exalted vizier, hear my prayer and may he accept my prayers. A scribal tablet, an inscription written in the name of Ashurbanipal, king of Assyria, I saw, but did not change. I poured out oil, made a sacrifice, and placed it with my own name. I returned it and restored its inscription. For Shamash, the judge of heaven and netherworld, the Ebabbar, his temple in Sippar.

which Nabu-kudurri-ushur, a king of the past, did, and whose original foundations he had destroyed, but whose original foundations he did not see, that house he built, and in 45 years of that house he demolished, and his foundations he ripped out, I poured out, I smashed, and the work I had done before Shamash from inside it I brought out, and I settled in another house. In another house I built, and whose original foundations he had destroyed, and 18 cubits of earth I piled up, and

The foundations of Naram-Sîn, son of Lugalgina, which for 3,200 years no king who preceded me had seen, Shamash, great lord, showed me the Ebabbar, the temple that provides happiness, and I, in Tashritu, in the month of Shalimu, on the day that they had sworn by the command that Shamash and Adad had sworn,

I, Nabonidus, great king, strong king, king of the world, king of Babylon, king of the four quarters, who provides for the E-sagil and the E-zida, whose fate Sîn and Ningal in his mother determined, whose fate is the son of Nabu-balassu-iqbi, the wise prince, who reveres the great gods, I, E-hul-hul, the temple of Sîn that is inside the city Harran, which since distant days Sîn is the great lord,

The dwelling place of his happiness, his heart, in his dwelling ... the city and that house he seized, and ... and he made him dwell there, a reed-bed ... the great lord ... the city and that house ... ... ... that house ... and the earth ... with me ... ... your ... ... bricks of the house ... and Sin, the great lord, in his dwelling place, his dwelling he reconstructed. I said to Enlil, the god Marduk, that house, which you command, do .

The commander-in-chief was appointing him, and he was a strong one, his army, Marduk having heard, with me, the commander-in-chief, about whom you spoke, his land and the kings who marched with him, had not been there. In the midst of the year, in battle, he brought him to me, and Kurash, king of Anzan, his servant, a captive, with his army he captured. The commander-in-chief spread wide. Ishtumagi, the king, the commander-in-chief, captured and his army to his land took.

... Sîn, the light of heaven and earth, ... ... ... ... ... ... I sat down and did my work. I did not know ... and my extensive army from the border ... the upper sea ... the Euphrates to the Lower Sea, kings, people, governors, and my extensive army, which Sîn, Shamash and Ishtar, my lords, had ordered, to rebuild Ehulhul, the temple of Sîn, my lord,

I came to my aid, which is inside the city Harran, which Ashurbanipal, king of Assyria, son of Esarhaddon, king of Assyria, a prince who preceded me, had built. ... in a favorable month, on a favorable day, which in the city quarter they had given to me, Shamash and Adad with wisdom of Ea and Asalluhi, in the kakkullu-temple, with the work of Kulla, the lord, and with the brickwork with silver, gold, and precious stones,

As for the reed fence, the forest, the date palms, and cedar in reed fences, above the foundations of Ashurbanipal, king of Assyria, which Shulman-sharru, son of Ashurbanipal, had seen, I laid its foundations and secured its brickwork. I poured out beer, wine, and oil, his own ingredients, and then I filled it with splendor. Above that which kings had fashioned, I strengthened its work and I thereby reinforced its structure.

He hung a magnificent cedar beam, which was a gift from the city Hamanu, on his neck. He hung doors of cedar, whose scent is sweet, at his gates. He hung silver and gold in his walls and made them shine like daylight. The pure city, who smashed my foes, he erected it in his cella.

A pure offering before them I offered and I presented it. My first-fruits offerings I made abundant and the city Harran to its entirety like the spring of a month I made shine.

May he make my reign long. May my enemies be sated with my radiance. May he make my enemies prosper, may he make my foes prosper, may he destroy my foes. May Ningal, mother of the great gods, speak benevolently before Sîn.

To Sin, the father who created them, may he speak good things about me. May Nusku, exalted vizier, hear my prayer and accept my prayer. I saw an inscription written in the name of Ashurbanipal, king of Assyria, but did not change its position. I poured out oil, made an offering, and returned it with my inscription.

That house he did, and in 45 years that that house had collapsed and its foundations had become loose, I ripped out, I smashed, and the previous work until Shamash had brought out of it, and I settled in another house.

At that time, in a raging storm and a storm of a storm, my supplications have come to an end. May he accept my prayers and appoint the scepter and the scepter of truth that you have made my hand hold. For everlasting days to Anunitu, lady of battle, who holds the bow and the arrow, who purifies the command of Enlil, his father, who is smitten with the enemy, who destroys the enemy, who marches before the gods of the east and west,

They have returned. The Eulmash, his temple in Sippar-Anunitu, which for 800 years from before Shagga, the king of Babylon, son of Nikkub-Enlil, no king had built, I removed its old foundations and I removed them. I built it on top of the original foundations of Shagga, the king of Babylon, son of Kudurru-Enlil. I laid its foundations and secured its brickwork.

Afterwards, by the sun and the sun, to Sîn, the father who engendered you, a shuma-offering of good fortune, who is it that Sîn and Shamash name to be king and in his reign that temple becomes dilapidated and a new one shall build, a stele bearing my name shall see and not change, oil shall be poured out, a sacrifice shall be made, with the stele bearing his name shall place, and return it to its place. Shamash and Anunitum

May his utterances be heard, may his command be accepted, may his ways be repaid, may he be sated with his slander, daily for Sin, the father who created them, his good fortune .

Anunitu, lady of battle, who purifies the command of Enlil, his father, who is smitten with evil, who destroys the wicked, who goes before the gods, I made his dwelling, the sattukku-offering and the nindabû-offerings, above that of before I made and secured its foundations.

the dwelling of his happiness, his heart, he sat in it. Above the city and that house he sat, and the troops he brought in and that house he brought in and made it dwell there. In my legitimate reign, Sîn, the great lord, in my beloved city and that house he praised, he sat down. The reeds in my eternal kingship he made manifest. That ... the troops he brought in and the strength of his army

which you said, he, his land, and the kings who march at his side, had no rival. In the distant past, in the kingship, they had put him, and Kurash, king of Anzan, his servant, a captive, with his army he captured. The extensive army of the army he seized. Ishtumegu, king of the army, took and his booty to his land he took. The word of the great lord, Marduk, and Sîn, the light of heaven and earth, whose commands cannot be changed, to their exalted command

I was afraid, I was afraid, I was afraid, I was not able to do my work, I did not know how to do it, and I set out to build my extensive army from the land Hazatu, the border of the Upper Medes, the bank of the Euphrates, to the Upper Medes, the kings, the people, the governors, and my extensive army, which the deities Sîn, Shamash, and Ishtar, my lords, had given to me, to rebuild the Ehulhul, the temple of Sîn, my lord, who marches at my side, which is in the city Harranu.

which Ashurbanipal, king of Assyria, son of Esarhaddon, king of Assyria, a prince who preceded me, had built: in a favorable month, on a favorable day, which in the middle of the year the gods Shamash and Adad in the wrath of Ea and Asalluhi in the kakkullutu, by the command of Kulla, the lord, the foundations and bricks with silver, gold, precious stones, precious stones, a forest, juniper, cedar, in joy and rejoicing,

Above the foundations of Ashurbanipal, king of Assyria, which Shulman-assur, son of Ashurbanipal, had seen, I laid its foundations and secured its brickwork. I poured out beer, wine, and oil, his precious possessions, and filled it with splendor. Above that of the king who came before me, his work I strengthened and reinforced, and his work I completed. That temple from its foundations to its crenellations I built and completed its work.

He hung high cedar beams, which were a delight to the city Hamanu, on his neck. He hung doors of cedar, whose scent is sweet, on his gates. He hung silver and gold on his walls and made them shine like daylight. He erected in his cella a pure zahalû-demon, who smashed my foes.

2: Lahmu, the eshmarû-priest, the saphin of my enemies,

At the Gate of the Rising Sun on the right and left I made it shine. The hands of Sîn, Ningal, Nusku and Sadarnunna, my lords, I took and from Shuanna Babylon, my royal city, and in joy and joy, a place of happiness inside it, I settled. A pure sacrifice before them I offered and presented. My gifts I presented. The Ehulhul, first-fruits, I filled and the Harran to the border of his entire land like the moon lit. "face" of the month I made shine.

Sin, king of the gods of heaven and earth, who has no city or land to be named and does not return to his place, ... ... the good things of the city and that house ... ... the gods who dwell in heaven and earth may they bless. The temple of Sin, the father who created them, my brother Nabonidus, king of Babylon, who completes that temple, Sin, king of the gods of heaven and earth, with his benevolent benevolent omens

May my days be long, may my years be long, may my limbs be firm, may my enemies be stricken, may my enemies be stricken, may my foes be stricken, may they be seized, may they be seized, may they be seized, may Ningal, mother of the great gods, before Sîn his beloved, speak the name of his birth father, Shamash and Ishtar, his beloved heart, to Sîn, their father, speak the name of their good fortune. May Nusku, the exalted vizier, hear my prayers, may he take hold of my words, the inscription written on it,

As for Esarhaddon, king of Assyria, I saw, but did not change it. I roasted oil, made a sacrifice, and placed it with my steles. I returned it and restored it. For Shamash, judge of heaven and earth, the Ebabbar, his temple in Sippar, which Nabonidus, a king of the past, had built, and whose original foundations he had examined, but whose original foundations he had not seen, that temple he built, and in 45 years that that temple had broken down, I razed, destroyed, and burned.

I strove to do a favor, until Shamash came out of it and made me dwell there. In another house, that house I built, and its original foundations I gathered and then I gathered 18 cubits of ground and the original foundations of Naram-Sîn, son of Lugalgina, which for 3,200 years no king who came before me had seen. Shamash, the great lord, the Ebabbar, the temple that is the residence of his happiness,

In Tashritu VII, in a favorable month, on a favorable day, which in the biarri ritual they had made, Shamash and Adad with silver, gold, precious stones, precious stones, a grove of date palms, cedar, in reeds and in reeds, and with the foundations of Naram-Sîn, son of Lugalgina, without nails or nails, he bound his hands.

5,000 strong cedars for his shurulu-vessel he fashioned;

I ... ... with high quality cedars, I smashed the nukushû-wood at its gate. I rebuilt the Ebabbar as far as the Kunankuga, its ziggurat, and completed its construction. I took the hand of Shamash, my lord, and I seated him inside it in joy and joy, a place of happiness. I found an inscribed object of Naram-Sin, son of Lugalgina, but I did not alter it. I poured out oil, made a sacrifice, and returned it to my inscription.

Shamash, great lord of heaven and earth, light of the gods, his lord, the exalted one of Suen and Ningal, to Ebabbar, your beloved temple, at your entering, your eternal dais at your supplication, for me, Nanituku, king of Babylon, the prince who provides for you, who pleases your heart, the one who makes your exalted cult center shine, my good deeds with pleasure and daily with wailing and crying, in heaven and earth, they have departed.

May I be the lord of the niggidri and the true scepter that you have fashioned for me forever, for Ishtar of Agade, lady of the gods, ..., lady of battle, who makes all safe, command of Enlil, his father, who is smitten with terror, who destroys the enemy, who goes before the gods, who in ... ... his old foundations ... the foundations of Naram-Sîn, .

I saw its original foundations, and I did not remove its original finger nor its finger nor its finger nor its finger nor its finger nor its finger nor its ... above that foundations ... ... that temple ... Ishtar of Agade, great lady, lady of battle, who makes the command of Enlil his father complete, who destroys the enemy, who destroys the wicked, who goes before the gods, his dwelling, sattukku-offerings and nindabû-offerings above that of the gods, I restored and established before her.

To that temple, in your joyful entrance, my good deeds are pleasing, and in the east and the west to Sîn, your father, a securing of the good fortune, Anunitu, the exalted lady, daily in the presence of Enlil ... ... good things, who among you whom Sîn and Shamash to kingship will name, and in his reign that temple will be destroyed, rebuilt, and rebuilt; may he see an inscription written in my name, and

May he eat oil, may he make an offering, may he offer a sacrifice, may he place it with a stele written in his name, may he place it back, may Ishtar of Agade and Anunitu his heirs hear, may they agree, his command may they go with him daily, and to Sin, the father who created them, his good fortune may they command.

Above the foundations of Ashurbanipal, king of Assyria, which Shulman-ashared, son of Ashurbanipal, had seen, I laid its foundations and secured its brickwork. I sank its contents with beer, wine, oil, honey, and honey and thereby enlarged its terrace. Above the foundations of the king, my ancestors, I strengthened and reinforced its construction.

He built it anew and completed its construction. He erected magnificent cedar beams upon Mount Amanus and he made its roof high. He installed doors of cedar, whose scent is sweet, at its gates. He plated silver and gold on its walls and made it high. He erected a pure zahalû-plant, which kills my foes, on its terrace.

2 Lahmu, the eshmarû-priest, the one who shattered my enemies,

At the gate of the east, on the right and on the left, I made them enter. I took the hands of Sîn, Ningal, Nusku, and Sadarnunna, my lords, from Shuanna Babylon, my royal city, and I seated them inside it in joy and joy, a place of happiness. I offered a pure sacrifice before them and presented it to them. My first offering, the Ehulhul, I filled with joy and

The city Harran, in its entirety, like the horizon of a month, he made shine like daylight. His radiance is Sîn, king of the gods of heaven and earth, who is above him, the city and the land which he did not know, did not change its charms, ... good things about the city and that house ... May the gods who dwell in heaven and earth bless the temple of Sîn, the father who created them.

For me, Nabonidus, king of Babylon, the one who completes that temple, may Sin, king of the gods of heaven and earth, look with pleasure upon me with his good omens, and may she be sated with her good fortune, and may she be sated with my good fortune with a sighing and a sighing cry. May my days be long, may my years be long, may she prolong my years, may she make my reign long, may she make my enemies prosper, may she make my enemies prosper,

May Ningal, mother of the great gods, speak the truth before Sîn, his beloved. May Shamash and Ishtar, his beloved spouse, speak the truth to Sîn, their father, their creator. May Nusku, the exalted vizier, hear my prayers and take counsel. I saw the word of Esarhaddon, king of Assyria, and

I did not alter the oil, I made a sacrifice, I offered a sacrifice, and with my sarû-offering I returned it. For Shamash, the judge of heaven and earth, the Ebabbar, his temple in Sippar, which Nabonidus, a king of the past, had built, and whose original foundations he had examined, but whose original foundations he had not seen, that temple he built, and in 45 years that that temple had collapsed, and its foundations he had thrown away, I razed, destroyed, and burned.

I sought out the quay and before Shamash I brought the work out and settled it. In another house I built and a house of that house I inspected and its original foundations I gathered and 18 cubits of ground I covered and the foundations of Naram-Sîn, son of Lugalgina, of 3,200 years, every king who came before me

Shamash, the great lord, showed me the Ebabbar, the temple that provides for happiness, in Tashritu VII, in the month of Shalmaneser VII, on a favorable day, which in the biru festival they had presented to me, Shamash and Adad with silver, gold, precious stones, precious stones, a shubû-stone, a forest of juniper and cedar, in a huddle and a strewn offering, above the foundations, Naram-Sîn, son of Lugalgina

He made his heart not to tremble, his fingers not to tremble.

5,000 strong cedars for his shurulu-vessel he fashioned;

... ... of exalted cedar, askuppu-tree and nukushû-tree;

At his gate he made the Ebabbar as far as the Ekun-ankuga, the ziggurat, anew, and completed it. I took the hand of Shamash, my lord, and I placed it inside it for joy and joy, a place of happiness. I saw the name of Naram-Sin, son of Lugalgina, but did not change it. I roasted sesame and offered a sacrifice.

I sat down with my scepter and returned to him.

Sin, lord of the gods, king of the gods of heaven and earth, gods of the gods who dwell in the great heavens, joyfully entered that temple. At your good entry, may Esagila, Ezida, and Egeshnugal, temples of your great divinity, be set up for you. May fear of your great divinity be set upon the hearts of his people and may they not be afraid. For your great divinity, may they be set up like the heavens.

As for me, Nabonidus, king of Babylon, by the fault of your great divinity, remove me, and let my life, a long day, be prolonged to the end. Further, that Bel-sharru, my first-born son, my own offspring, may be set free from the anger of your great divinity, and may he not have any guilt. May he be well.

Nabonidus, king of Babylon, the one who provides for the Esagil and Ezida, the one who reveres the great gods, am I. The E-lugalgalgasisa, the ziggurat of the Egeshnugal in Ur, which Ur-Namma, a king of the past, had built but not completed, Shulgi, his son, his work, he completed. In the reed-box of Ur-Namma and Shulgi, his son, I saw and that ziggurat Ur-Namma had built but not completed. ...

... that temple ... like daylight I made shine and to Sin, lord of the gods of heaven and earth, king of the gods and goddess of heaven and earth, who dwells in the great heavens, lord of the Egeshnugal temple which is in Ur, my lord, I built and I made it. Sin, lord of the gods, king of the gods, and goddess of heaven and earth, god of the gods and goddesses who dwell in the great heavens, to that temple, I joyfully entered. The good things of Esagil, my own offspring,

May the fear of your great divinity be set upon him, so that he does not commit any sin. May he be sated with happiness.

When Nanna-re, his lord, the sage, the son of the prince, the sage, he made manifest, the sage Namrashit he made manifest, his true scepter to Nabonidus, king of Babylon, who provides for the Esagil and Ezida, the shepherd who constantly seeks out the shrines of the great gods, Nanna-re, lord of the aegis, the one who provides for the habitations, he gave it to him. The sage, the sage, in Ululu, 13th day, the month of the inscription of the goddesses,

Inbi was enraged, and in his rage he raged. Sîn, the diviner, was angry, like him, and his face was angry. I, Nabonidus, the shepherd who reveres his divinity, his true command I revered. Because of the supplications of the diviner, the pious one, the supplications of the shrines of Shamash and Adad, the lords of the shrines, I sought out and Shamash and Adad, the true lords, sent me, in my shrine wrote me a good omen.

I asked and a certum-festival I appointed, and the good flesh above that of the previous one they presented to me. Because of the daughters of my own offspring I performed a certum-festival and they did not present to me, I re-established them. Because of the daughter of my own offspring I performed a certum-festival and the good flesh they presented to me. By the command of Sîn, the supreme lord, the god who created me, by the command of Shamash and Adad, the lords of the four quarters, I prayed to the daughter of my offspring for eternity. I re-established the lord of the nigaldi and Nanna, her name.

Because from distant days the lordly abode was not known, his plan was not known, his days he gave to him, he set a date, and he imposed it upon me. I looked at the gates and a long stele of Nabopolassar, son of Ninurta-nadin-shumi, a king of the past who had fashioned the image of a god, whose features, his appearance, his limbs, and his tiqnu he wrote with me, and to the house of the Gepar he made it shine.

I fashioned tablets and original writing boards and I built them. Like old age, I fashioned a stele with its original features and the utensils of its house. I wrote its foundation and in front of Sîn and Ningal, my lords, I firmly established it. At that time, the pure Gepar, the holy place where the rites of the past were performed, I surrounded inside it, where the rites of the past were performed, and the alamû-plants were planted inside it, I cut down trees, and I surrounded its perimeter with a wall.

I looked inside it the temple and reconstructed its foundations, the inscription of the ancient kings, I looked inside it.

Foxvog, Daniel A.

When Nanna the moon god desired a high priestess, the Princely Son showed a sign to the world, Namrashit revealed his firm decision. To Nabonidus, king of Babylon, provider for the Esagil and Ezida temples, the pious shepherd solicitous about the shrines of the great gods, Nanna the lord of the crown, who bears signs to all settled places, made known to him his sign regarding his wish for a high priestess: 'If in the month of Elul on the 13th day, the month known as Task of the Goddesses,

Inbi becomes dark, but from his state of darkness he begins to grow large, Sîn desires a high priestess'. Thus his sign and his decision I, Nabonidus, the shepherd, standing in awe of his divinity, feared and heeded his just command, and I became anxiously occupied with the request for a high priestess. I sought out the shrines of Shamash and Adad, the lords of divination, and Shamash and Adad answered me with a firm Yes In my extispicy they wrote a favorable omen, an omen requesting naditu-women, a request of the gods to a person.

I had a second omen taken, and they answered me with an omen more favorable than before. I performed an extispicy concerning the daughters of my kinsmen, but they answered No A third time, concerning a daughter, my own offspring, I had a omen taken, and they answered me with a favorable omen. The word of Sîn, the exalted lord, the god my creator, as well as the command of Shamash and Adad, the lords of divination, I heeded, and a daughter, my own issue, I raised to the office of high priestess, and I called her name En-Nigaldi-Nanna High-Priestess the Request of Nanna.

Since the office of the high priestess had long been forgotten, and her proper image was not known, I pondered the problem daily. Finally the time arrived that the 'gates were opened' for me. I saw an old stela of Nabium-kudurri-ushur 2nd Dynasty of Isin, 1125-1104, son of Ninurta-nadin-shumi, an earlier king 1131-1126, on whose surface had been fashioned the likeness of a high priestess. Her fittings, her clothes, and her jewelry they had in addition written down, and they had brought it into the É-Gipar residence.

I examined the old tablets and writing-boards, and I followed the old examples. A stela representative of her fittings and household furnishings I had made anew, and I wrote upon its surface, and I had it set up before Sîn and Ningal, my lord and lady. At that time, the É-Gipar, the pure cult place wherein the rites of the office of high priestess used to be performed, its area had been neglected and had fallen into ruin, and alamittu-palms and fruit trees had grown up within it. I cut down the trees and removed the rubble of its ruins,

and so I saw the house, discovered its foundations, looked at the inscriptions within it written by the previous kings.

The original inscription of Enanedu, the lady of Ur, daughter of Kudur-mabuk, a daughter of Rim-Sîn, king of Ur, which the Gepar temple had built and which to its original location he had returned, to the side of the Gepar temple the wall above the old lady of the gods he had seen, I looked at it and the Gepar temple as old as before had been built. His daises and plans as old as before I built.

to the side of the Gepar temple, the temple of the lord of the nigaldi of Nanna, my daughter, the lady of Sin, I built. My daughter I raised up and to Sîn and Ningal, my lords, I dedicated. By the craft of the kakkullu-priests, I built and to the Gepar I brought. The sattukku-offerings of the Gepar I provided. Fields, orchards, female and male slaves, oxen, and sheep and goats I provided. The wall, the wide street of the ancient lady,

I built this house for strong protection. At that time, which Sîn and Ningal, my lords, their sattukku offerings above that of the previous had smashed, I gave to her everything in the Ekishnugal. That day, 3 sheep above the old sattukku offerings to Sîn and Ningal, my lords, I established. The business of the kiln I gave to her. Because the bursaggû offerings I completed, and the crime not to be redeemed.

When he sent the satrap of Ekishnugal and the temples, the rabbanû-priest, the kullum-priest, the engeshum-priest, the airu-priest, the chief rabû-priest, the shitum-priest, the tiru-priest, the iddin-priest, the tiru-priest, the temple-priest, the lagaru-priest, the one who is a shakinu-priest, the singers, the one who shattered the heart of the gods, the Kinishtu-priests, the ones who were named for their own name, I wrote down and I placed their inscriptions. I imposed upon them and to Sîn and Ningal, my lords, I made them swear.

O Sin, holy god, lord of the aegis, light of life, supreme god, whose command is true, may he rejoice over my deeds and may he be happy. May he grant me a kingship of life forever, a stele, and a stele for eternity. May he not make the other one a stranger. In the month may he send me the rites of my good deeds, the crown of my kingship for eternity. May my greatness be established. May my throne be secured forever. In the days of the month, when you have been seated,

May I constantly praise your good deeds. May Ningal, the most exalted lady, speak good things about me before you. May lord Nigaldi and Nanna, my beloved daughter, enter into your presence and be glad. May his command be heard. May your mistress not commit any sin.

An old inscription of En-Anedu, a high-priestess of Ur, the daughter of Kudur-mabuk and the sister of Rim-Sîn king of Ur, who had renovated and restored the Gepar House, and at the side of the Gepar House had enclosed with a wall the resting-places of the old high priestesses, all this I saw, and I fashioned the Gepar House anew, following the old examples. Its daises and plans I built anew, following the old examples.

The great deeds of the god Sîn, which none of the gods and goddesses knows, which from distant days to the land did not turn back, and the people of the land did not see, and on whose tablet they did not write and did not place, forever, Sîn, lord of the gods, and Ishtar, who dwells in heaven, which before Nabonidus, king of Babylon, came from heaven, I, Nabonidus, the young man, who no one knows, who is kingship,

The gods and goddesses prayed to me and the god Sîn prayed to me for kingship. In the night of the dream he sent me, saying: "House of Joy, temple of Sîn of Harran, quickly built." All the lands under your authority I shall carry off. The people of Babylon, Borsippa, Nippur, Ur, Uruk, Larsa, the priests of the people of the cult centers of Ur for his divinity.

The great zeshu-demon, whose king, the god Nanna, their rituals had smashed, and they spoke slander and insubmissiveness like dogs, they fought with each other. They smashed the dilmun and famine among them, and I slew the people of the land and myself from my city Babylon. I brought me out and razed, destroyed, and burned the cities Tema, Dadanu, Padakku, Hibra, Yadihu, and as far as Yadibu.

I have marched inside them for ten years.

By the command of Sin, king of the gods, lord of lords, the gods and goddesses who dwell in heaven, the command of Sin, Nanna, Shamash, Ishtar, Adad, and Nergal, he appointed guardians of well-being and life for me. In that year, in the months Nisannu and Tashritu, the people of Akkad and Hatti took the road to the mountains and seas and in the mighty battles of the people in the months Simanu, Du'u, Abu, Ululu, and Tashritu, in these months

In all these years they have not been able to drink water. By the command of Sin and Adad, the canal inspector of heaven and earth, water and rain they poured out. Their property and their goods in peace they brought before me. By the command of Sin and Ishtar, the lady of war, whose annihilation and peace cannot be found in the land and whose cultic rites cannot be performed, you have sworn against them. The king of Egypt, Media, Arabu, and all the kings who rebelled against me

They send supplications and rejoicing before me. The people of the land of the Arabs who ... the great weapon ... of Akkad ... to hunger and hunger, who grew up, and by the command of Sîn and Nergal their weapons they split up and all of them they bound. At my feet? Shamash, the lord of the king, who without him no one can escape and no one can save, the one who is well, by the command of Nanna, the father who created him, the people of Urartu and Hatti who had fled

My hands and heart were firm with me and they kept guard, they kept my watch. Commandments in the midst of the distant mountains, the distant mountains, which I marched,

For 10 years he has waited and he has given the time.

The day that he said, the king of the god Nanna, on the 17th day of Tashritu the day of Sin he smashed. His word, Sin, lord of the gods, on the 1st day, the weapon of Anu, the name of heaven and earth he smashed. The cultic place of Anutu, the one who makes perfect, the cultic place of Enlil, the one who holds the throne of Ea, who has all the cultic place of heaven, with his hands he smashed. Enlil, the gods, king, king, lord of lords,

And you do not say his words. Two times, the fear of his great divinity overwhelmed heaven and earth, like his face overwhelmed heaven and earth, without being present, who can do anything? You set up the land where your heart dwells, the fear of your great divinity within it, and in distant days you firmly established its foundations. The land where your heart dwells, the fear of your heart, you constantly praise from within it.

The one who keeps the heavens safe, the one who carries off his mouth, the command of Nanna, the father who created them, the one who restores the scepter of heaven and earth, whose exalted command, which every day in the sky he speaks, the unrelenting land and the radiance of the land cannot be found, the gods, like reeds, tremble, and tremble. The Anunnaki, who is distant from the command of his great divinity, which cannot be changed, ... mountain ... with the haruspex and

The governor of the road was not blocked. I finished it, and in the night the dream was blocked until the word of ... ... he uttered my name. The deadline which Nanna had commanded, from Tema ... Babylon, my capital city, ... my ... saw, and ... ... for good fortune and a payment they went before me. The kings inside came and he was sated with famine, and my feet and necks he sat on. His great divinity, the gods and goddesses who had sinned, he imposed upon them.

They returned to me and said to me: "The king placed my good flesh in the mouth of the haruspex." With happiness and abundance I marched about and in peace I sat down. The people of my land I kept safe; the word of his great divinity I kept in mind, and I did not hesitate, nor fear nor fear nor act, but I sent and the people of Urartu and Hatti from the border of the Upper Sea to the Lower Sea of Sin, king of the gods,

I took the hands of Sîn, Ningal, Nusku, and Sadarnuna from Shuanna Babylon, my royal city, and I made them enter into the sanctuaries of joy and celebration and settled them on their eternal dais. I offered a strewn offering before them and presented them with it. I filled the first part of the Ehulhul temple with it and made it splendid. I made the heart of his people happy. By the command of Sîn, king of the gods, lord of lords, who dwells in the heavens, his name is uttered in heaven.

Shamash, whose command Nusku, Ishtar, Adad, and Nergal, who have made their command perfect, by the command of Nanna, their utterances I have commanded, and when my weapons I have commanded, to do battle with me I set up, and to keep safe the command of Nanna, who is it that Sin names to be king? and who my son commands? The abode of Sin, dwelling in heaven, whose command cannot be changed and whose word cannot be said twice .

The great deeds of the god Sîn, which none of the gods and goddesses knows, which from distant days to the land did not turn back, and the people of the land did not see, and on whose tablet they did not write and did not place, forever, Sîn, lord of the gods, and Ishtar, who dwells in heaven, which before Nabonidus, king of Babylon, came from heaven, I, Nabonidus, the young man, who no one knows, who is kingship,

The gods and goddesses prayed to me and the god Sîn prayed to me for kingship. In the night of the dream he commanded me, saying: "Hulhul, the temple of Sîn of Harran, quickly built." All the lands under your authority I shall fill. The people of Babylon, Borsippa, Nippur, Ur, Ur, Larsa, the priests of the people of the cult centers of Akkad to his divinity

The great one sinned against me, and he did not know how to treat me. The great one whose king of the gods, the god Nanna, sinned against me and he spoke to me, and the slander and insubmissiveness he had slandered like a dog, they smote each other. They smashed the riot and the slaughtering of the people of the land and I from my city Babylon brought to me and smote the people of Tema, Dadanu, Padakku, Hibra, Iadihu, and as far as Iataribu.

I have marched in their midst for ten years.

By the command of Sin, king of the gods, lord of lords, the gods and goddesses who dwell in heaven, the command that Sin, Nanna, Shamash, Ishtar, Adad, and Nergal, guardians of health and life, had given to me, in that year, in the months Nisannu and Tashritu, the people of Akkad and Hatti took the road to the mountains and seas and in the mighty months Simanu, Du'u, Abu, Ululu, and Tashritu, in these months

In all these years they have not been able to drink water. By the command of Sin and Adad, the canal inspector of heaven and earth, water and rain they irrigated them. Their property and their goods they brought into my presence. By the command of Sin and Ishtar, the lady of war, whose evil and righteousness cannot be eradicated in the land and whose cultic procedures cannot be performed, you have smeared his hands against them and the king of Egypt and the ...dea

The land of Ara... all the kings of the enemy ... ... before ... ... of the great weapon ... of Akkad ... ... ... who stood in the street

By the command of the gods Sîn and Nergal, their cultic rites were smashed and all of them sat down. By the feet of Shamash, the lord of the extispicy, whose command cannot be changed and whose command cannot be changed, the one who is well, by the command of Nanna, the father who created him, the people of Urartu and Hatti, who had been deprived of my hands, my strong heart and my firm heart, he placed them in my hands and they kept guard, and the lord ... he made them well. By the command in the midst of the land ..., the scepter, the extispicy, which I marched

For 10 years he has waited and he has given the time.

The day that he said, the king of the god Nanna-x, on the 17th day of Tashritu the day of Sin he smashed. His word, Sin, lord of the gods, on the 1st day, the weapon of Anu, the name of heaven and earth he smashed. The cultic place of Anutu, the one who makes perfect, the cultic place of Enlil, the one who holds the throne of Ea, who has all the cultic place of heaven, with his hands he smashed. Enlil, the gods, king, king, lord of lords,

Whom you do not turn back and do not say his word. Two of his whose anger is the fear of his great divinity, heaven and earth, he is a satrap, like his face, heaven and earth, he is a satrap, who does not know, who does not do anything? You set up the land whose heart ..., and you set up the fear of your great divinity within it, and in distant days his foundations will be firm. The land whose heart is a satrap, your anger is your fear.

His heart is constantly rejoicing, and for the days of the days of all the gods and goddesses who dwell in heaven keep guard, and the truth of his mouth they keep safe. By the command of Nanna, the father who created them, who restores the scepter of heaven and earth, whose command ... ... and ... in the heavens ..., the land cannot be ruled over, and ... in the land cannot exist, the gods smash like a reed, and they destroy.

Nabonidus, king of Babylon, provider of Esagila and Ezida, son of Nusku-balassu-iqbi, the perfect prince am I; Ehulhul, the house of Sîn, inside Harran, for Sîn, Ningal, Nusku, and Sadarnunna, my lords, I verily built.

I, Adad-guppi', mother of Nabonidus, king of Babylon, who reveres the deities Sîn, Ningal, Nusku, and Sadarnunna, my gods, whose divinity I constantly sought out since my childhood, in the year 16 of Nabonidus, king of Babylon, Sîn, king of the gods, with his city and his temple he swore, they were smitten, they were enraged, the city and the people who in his heart went out,

In the sanctuaries of Sin, Ningal, Nusku and Sadarnuna I constantly seek out their divinity. I wore the garment of Sin, king of the gods, and I constantly sought out his great divinity. Daily, without interruption, I wore the garment of Sin, Shamash, Ishtar, and Adad, as many as I have ever wore in heaven and netherworld. I am the one who reveres them. My good things that they gave me daily, month and year, I gave them. I wore the garment of Sin, king of the gods, and I stayed awake all day and night.

My eyes with him, I was smitten with a sigh of sighing and a sigh of sighing. In their presence, they said: "Your tarutu-demon is in your city, and the people of the black-headed people are afraid. May your great divinity be at peace with me to please my god and my goddess. May the head of the garment, the head of the garment, the silver and gold, the shubatu-garments, the new juniper and good oil, may they not be sated with me. My shubatu-garment is seized, and my shubatu-garment is seized.

Their praises were placed in my heart, and I kept their guard. I did not leave anything good behind, and I was able to go before them. From the 20th year of Assurbanipal, king of Assyria, who I had defeated, to the 42nd year of Assurbanipal, the third year of Ashur-etel-ili, his son, the 21st year of Nabû-apap, the 43rd year of Nabû-niggubpap, the 2nd year of Amel-Marduk, the 4th year of Nergal-lugal-uru,

In 115 years, the god Sîn, king of the gods of heaven and earth, who reveres his great divinity, looked with pleasure upon my good deeds and heard my prayers. His angry heart became frightened and he entered the Ehulhul, the temple of the god Sîn that is inside the city Harran, the place of his happiness. He became frightened and he became angry. The awe-inspiring radiance of the god Sîn, king of the gods, looked upon me and Nabû, my son, who is in my heart, to kingship

he heard and the kingship of Sumer and Akkad from the border of the Upper Sea to the Lower Sea he filled all the lands with his hands. I took him and to Sin, the king of the gods, with wisdom ... ... my heart ... you to be king, you have sworn his name. By the command of your great divinity, the great gods, may they go with him, may they make his foes abundant.

When he had set his hands on my dream, Sîn, king of the gods, said to me: "With you I will set the taharu of the gods in the seat of Harran with Nabû, your son, and build the Ehulhul. He will do it and complete his work. He will build Harran upon that which he has made and return it to its place. The hands of Sîn, Ningal, Nusku and Sadarnunna will take hold of it and bring it into the Ehulhul. I obeyed the command that Sîn, king of the gods, said to me and I saw it.

Nabonidus, my son, the offspring of my heart, performed the rites of the temples of Sîn, Ningal, Nusku, and Sadarnunna. He built anew the Ehulhul and completed its work. The city Harran he completed above that which he had performed and returned to its place. The hands of Sîn, Ningal, Nusku and Sadarnunna, from Shuanna, his royal city, took and in Harran, their dwelling place, with joy,

and rejoicing I settled. Whoever from before the god Sîn, king of the gods, did not act and did not give to anyone, in my supplications, whose divinity he revered, I took away his garment. The god Sîn, king of the gods, my first-born son, came up to me and gave me a good name in the land. For long days and years, I made good things come forth and from the time of Ashurbanipal, king of Assyria, to the 9th year of Nabonidus, king of Babylon, son of my heart,

144 years of good fortune, due to the fear of Sin, king of the gods,

They placed me there, they made me live. My eyes were bright, my hands and feet were bright, my words were good, my limbs were good, my limbs were good, my flesh was good, my flesh was healthy, my heart was full of joy, my sons and my grandsons, together with four of my children, I saw, and I had a long life. May Sin, king of the gods, look upon me with favor and my days be long. May Nabonidus, king of Eridu, my son, to Sin, my lord, appointed.

The good protective deity and the good protective deity who trusts in me have entrusted to him, to live, with him, he has entrusted, and by the great sin of your great divinity has he sinned against him, and your great divinity may he fear. In 21 years of Nabonidus, king of Babylon, in 43 years of Nebuchadnezzar, son of Nabonidus, and in 4 years of Nergal-sharru, king of Babylon,

kingship they have done. 198 years in all my heart I have feared them. I kept watch over them and Nabonidus, my son, before Nabonidus, son of Nabû-auru, and Nergal-sharru-ushur, king of Babylon, he sat down, and the day and night of their watch he kept watch over them, and the good ones who had done it, constantly, my high name they established before them.

Afterwards, fates he gave them. Whoever among their sons or their families or their magnates when their sons or their families had died in a business transaction or property he gave them, did not grant them a dowry, a thornbush, for me, every month without interruption, in my good dowry, oxen, sheep, bread, beer, wine, oil, honey, and fruit from the orchard, all of the kispu-tree,

I dispatched them, and the good strewn offerings I made them. Good things for regular offerings I established for them and I established before them. In the 9th year Nabonidus, king of Babylon, the fate of his own free will he brought to him and Nabonidus, king of Babylon, son of his own heart, beloved of his mother, his own body he made and his body the saga of the lower side, the sacrificial ..., the saga of the pure alû-stone, the precious stone, the precious stone, the precious stone .

He poured out good oil, and his ... he poured out. In the reed bed, oxen and sheep he smote. Before him he poured out, and the ruler of Babylon and Borsippa, the ruler who dwells in the district of the people and governors, from the border of Egypt to the Upper Sea he brought out, and the people and the governors ... the ... he smote and they smote. Their seven days and seven nights of the people he smote, and their corpses he smote.

In seven days, in the midst of the people of the land all the people were gathered and ... their people ... ... and their ... they placed and entered ... in the ... ... he poured a sweet aromatic oil on their heads he poured out, their hearts he sank, and their faces he made bright, he smashed their land, he confined them, and to their place he returned them. Whoever you are, whether a king or a prince .

... If Sin, king of the gods, lord of the gods of heaven and earth, his great divinity, day and night, Shamash, Adad and Ishtar, lords of heaven and earth, who ... dwell in Esagil and Ehulhul, are angry and in heaven and earth they are angry, and the mouth of Sin, the god ... ... and your seed ... .

You are to be king and you have spoken to him. By the command of your great divinity, the great gods will listen to him. May they go and praise him. May they make his body swollen. On his face, he will rejoice over the house and his cultic rites. In my dream, the god Sîn, king of the gods, says to me: "With you, praise the gods!"

I shall place the seat of the city Harran in the hands of Nabonidus, your son. He will build the Ehulhul temple and complete its work. He will complete the city Harran over that which he will build and return it to its place. The hands of Sin, Ningal, Nusku, and Sadarnunna will seize and enter the Ehulhul temple. The word of Sin, king of the gods, he spoke to me. I listened to and saw. I, Nabonidus, my son, the offspring of my heart, the rituals

The rites of Sin, Ningal, Nusku and Sadarnuna I completed. The Ehulhul, a new one, I built and completed. The city Harran I completed above that which was before and I returned it to its place. The hands of Sin, Ningal, Nusku and Sadarnuna, from Shuanna, his royal city, took and in Harran, in the Ehulhul, their dwelling place of happiness, in joy and joy I settled. That which from before Sin, king of the gods,

In my supplications, whose divinity I revered, I took away his garment. Sin, king of the gods, my offspring, lifted me up and a good name in the land established for me. For long days, years of happiness I made manifest and from the time of Ashurbanipal, king of Assyria, to the 9th year of Nabonidus, king of Babylon, my offspring,

144 years of good fortune, due to the fear of Sin, king of the gods,

They placed me in my heart and made me whole. My eyes were bright, my hands and feet were bright, my words were good, my limbs were good, my limbs were good, my flesh was good, my heart was full, my sons, my sons, together with four of my brothers, I saw, and I had a fullness of life. May Sin, king of the gods, look upon me with favor and my days are long. May Nabonidus, king of Eridu,

The good protective deity and the good protective deity who trusts in me have entrusted to him, to live, with him, he has entrusted, and by the great sin of your great divinity has he sinned against him, and your great divinity may he fear. In 21 years of Nabonidus, king of Babylon, in 43 years of Nebuchadnezzar, son of Nabonidus, and in 4 years of Nergal-sharru, king of Babylon,

kingship they have done. 108 years in my whole heart I have feared them. I have guarded them. Nabonidus, my son, in the presence of Nabonidus, son of Nabonidus, and Nergal-sharru-ushur, king of Babylon, I set up and in the morning and evening their guard I guarded. They who are good to them I have guarded.

My favorable name they established before them. ... their ... they raised up .

Foxvog, Daniel A.

When the great lord, hero Nergal, having made his city Mashkan-shapir in his heart 'overflowing its banks' truly appear, and its city wall on a pure place having built up greatly, and about its extended residences with his words that cannot be changed having spoken loftily, then Sîn-iddinam, the mighty man, the provider of Ur, the king of Larsa, and king of Sumer and Akkad, the man by whom the Ebabbar, the temple of Utu, had been built, who the Tigris, the wide river, had excavated, who the exalted food offerings of the Anuna gods did greatly perfect – namely I, because all the great ways I searched out for that place and because about bringing together vast troops

I truly was knowledgable, because of this Nergal, the son of Enlil, gave me mattocks and earth baskets and determines this fate for me. From the temple ... he raised for me .... For his city Mashkan-shapir, lifting the top of its wall on a sacred place, with his joyful heart he finished for me its instructions. Then, one-fourth of the armies of my country I having mobilized there, for one month, for thirty days, I had them make its bricks. That great wall, May Nergal Level the Enemy Lands For Me being its name,

So may they be stricken with your sons and your daughters with your feet.

If you are in accordance with this treaty of Esarhaddon, king of Assyria, which you have violated against Assurbanipal, the great crown prince designate, ditto as snake and Ninkilim in the one-third of the house do not enter and do not go out, concerning the rations of life that they have shared, you, your women, do not enter one house, nor do you go out on the one wooden boat, concerning the rations of life that they have shared,

Ditto, ditto; just as bread and wine enter your belly, so may this tametu enter your belly, just as the tametu of your sons and your daughters enter; ditto, just as water enters inside, so may they snare you, your women, your sons and your daughters, your canals, your eyes, and their water into the qinnish.

Ditto, ditto; may bread be made with gold in your land; ditto, ditto, like a sacrificial goat, may blood of your women, your sons and your daughters pass by your mouth; ditto, like a shashabtu-sacrificial goat, you eat in your womb; may meat of your women, your sons and your daughters eat it;

Ditto may your flesh, the flesh of your women, your brothers, your sons and your daughters be as clean as a sacrificial dish.

Ditto; just as a harushhu-demon has sent you, so may you, your women, your brothers, your sons, your daughters, be taken from the hands of your enemy; ditto; may your flesh, the flesh of your women, your brothers, your sons, your daughters be as plentiful as the flesh of a hurbillu-demon; ditto; ditto; just as in the midst of the kamanu-diseases the hammurru-disease is plentiful,

May they eat the flesh of your women, your brothers, your sons, your daughters, in your wombs, and the skulls; ditto may they eat the flesh of a pig, a suckling seed, a suckling seed, a suckling seed, your cities, your land, and your district; ditto may they eat the flesh of a pig; may they kill you with your enemy's hands; may your enemy devour you like this a pig; may it be in the presence of god and king your people like this.

Ditto, ditto; may they be angry with you, your women, your brothers, your sons, your daughters, in rebellion, may they be angry with you. As a ghost who burns a halo and burns a tiara in water, may they kill you like a pig in fire, may they kill you with a fire, may they kill you in water, may they kill you. If you are guilty of this treaty of Esarhaddon, king of Assyria, and his sons and his grandsons,

Ditto; just as this chariot with its horns is swollen with blood, so may your chariots be swollen with blood of your horns; may all the gods who are named in this treaty tablet make their name disappear, may they make your horns disappear like a woman in front of your enemy; may all the gods who are named in this treaty tablet be named for your money, your brothers and your sons.

Let them bring your daughters to the yoke, let them bring you into the yoke, let them burn you like a fire without good smell, let them eat you like oil in your flesh, let them bring you this tametu in your flesh, the flesh of your brothers, your sons and your daughters, let them bring to Bel, as the arayu-demons to Bel sinned against them, the scepter of their ditto, their feet they cut off, their eyes they smashed,

If you, Ashurnasirpal, king of Assyria, your lord, and Assurbanipal, the great crown prince designate, and his brothers, sons of his mother, Assurbanipal, the great crown prince designate, the rest of the sons, the first-born sons of Ashurnasirpal, king of Assyria, will bring to the right and left,
