"Guard this treaty. Do not sin against your treaty and annihilate yourselves, do not turn your land over to destruction and your people to deportation.

Speak evil and improper things about him," you shall not make it come to a fight between him and his father by stirring up mutual hatred between them.
Instead say to the envious person who commands you and would make you become accursed: "Where are his brothers or the servants who made themselves accursed to his father by slandering him in the presence of his father? Has not what Ashur, Shamash and Adad said about him proved to be true? Did your father ...... without the consent of Ashur and Shamash? Let your brother be honoured, and stay alive."
If someone involves you in a plot, be it one of his brothers, his uncles, his relations, a member of his father's line, a eunuch or a bearded courtier, an Assyrian or a foreigner, or any human being at all, saying: "Slander his brothers, sons by his own mother, before him, make it come to a fight between them, and divide his brothers, sons of his own mother, from him", you shall not obey nor speak evil about his brothers in his presence, nor divide him from his brothers; you shall not let those who speak such things go free but shall come and report to Assurbanipal, the great crown prince designate as follows: "Your father imposed a treaty on us and made us swear an oath concerning it."
You shall not look on ...... Assurbanipal, the great crown prince, his brothers ....... You shall contest them as you would on your own behalf, and rouse fear in their heart, saying: "Your father set this in a treaty and made us swear it."
When Esarhaddon, king of Assyria, your lord, passes away and Assurbanipal, the great crown prince designate, ascends the royal throne, you shall not say any evil word about his brothers, sons of his own mother, before their brother nor try to make them accursed saying: "Bring your hand against them for an evil deed." You shall not alienate them from Assurbanipal, the great crown prince designate, nor shall you say any evil word about them in the presence of their brother.

Tukulti-Ninurta, king of the universe, strong king, king of Assyria, king of the four quarters, sungod of all people, exalted priest, chosen of the gods Ashur and Enlil, attentive prince, chosen of the gods Anu and Ea, mighty warrior, loved one of the gods Shamash and Adad, valiant man, favorite of the god Marduk and the goddess Zababa, the one who strikes enemies with his support, the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the favorite of the gods, the true shepherd, king of Sumer and Akkad,
In my accession year and in my first regnal year, I conquered the lands Qutu, Uqumanu, Elhunua, and Sharnida, and Mehru. I deposited my clay cones, their weapons, and the booty of their mountains in my city Ashur.
At that time I subdued the lands Paphu, Katmuhu, Bushu, Mummu, Alzu, Madanu, Nihanu, Alaia, Tepurzu, Purulumzu, and the entire land of the extensive Shubaru by force. I subdued the kings their governors at my feet and I imposed upon them corvée. In difficult terrain, where no king knows, their foes fled in fear of my substantial audience gift and forty kings of the lands Nairi rebelled against me in battle and battle.
With the support of the goddess Ishtar, mistress of heaven and underworld, they came before my army. I attacked Kashtiliashu, king of Karduniash Babylonia, to wage war. I killed his troops and annihilated his army.
In that battle I captured Kashtiliashu, the king of the Kassites, with my hands like a lion. I brought his lordly neck and his limbs before the god Ashur, my lord, and I ruled the land of Sumer and Akkad in its entirety. In the Lower Sea of the Setting Sun, on the border of my land, I crossed the Euphrates.
At that time, as for the city Kar-Tukulti-Ninurta, I named it Kar-Tukulti-Ninurta. I completed inside it the temple of the gods Ashur, Adad, Shamash, Ninurta, Nusku, Nergal, Sebetti, and Ishtar, the great gods, my lords. I reconstructed the papyrus and thereby reinforced its sanctuaries. With the help of the well-being of that canal, I established the regular offerings of the great gods, my lords, for ever.
At that time I built the wall of the city Kar-Tukulti-Ninurta, the great cult center, a residence for my lordly majesty, from top to bottom.
In the future may a later prince, when that wall becomes old and dilapidated, restore it. May he anoint with oil my monumental inscription, make sacrifices, and return it to its place. Then the god Ashur will listen to his prayers.
As for the one who removes my monumental inscription and my inscribed name, abandons Kar-Tukulti-Ninurta, my capital, and abandons it: may the god Ashur, my lord, overthrow his sovereignty, overthrow his weapons, destroy his foes, cut down his foes, alter the course of his reign, determine his fate, lengthen his days, make his years long, and destroy his name and his seed from the land.
Tukulti-Ninurta, king of the universe, strong king, king of Assyria, king of the four quarters, sungod of all people, exalted priest, chosen of Ashur and Enlil, attentive prince, creature of Anum and Ea, the capable, the ferocious, loved one of Shamash and Adad, valiant dragon, favourite of Marduk and Zababa, exceeding in strength, the strong one whose support is Ninurta, hero of weapons, loved one of the divine power manifest in Ishtar's banquet, faithful shepherd, king of Sumer and Akkad, king of the Upper and Lower Seas, king of the extensive mountains and plains, king of the land of the Shubaru, Qutu, and king of all the lands Nairi, the king whom the gods have helped to obtain his desired victories and who shepherds the four quarters behind Shamash, I; son of Shalmaneser I, king of the universe, king of Assyria; son of Adad-narari I who was also king of the universe and king of Assyria:
At the beginning of my sovereignty, at the beginning of my reign, I conquered the land of the Qutu, the land of the Uqumanu, the lands Elhunia, Sharnida, and Mehru. Annually I regularly received in my city Ashur the tribute of their lands and the produce of their mountains.
At that time, I controlled as with a bridle the land of the Paphu, the lands Katmuhu, Bushu, Mummu, Alzu, Madanu, Nihanu, Alaia, Tepurzu, Purulumzu and the entire extensive land of the Shubaru. I subdued at my feet the kings, their leaders, and imposed upon them corvée. With my surpassingly strong might I frequently traversed impassable rocky mountains the paths of which no other king knew. Forty kings of the lands Nairi fiercely took up a position for armed conflict. I fought with them and brought about their defeat. I caused their blood to flow into the caves and ravines of the mountains. Thus I became lord of all their lands and levied upon them tribute and impost forever.
With the aid of the goddess Ishtar, mistress of heaven and the underworld, who marches at the fore of my army, I approached Kashtiliashu, king of Karduniash, to do battle. I brought about the defeat of his army and felled his warriors.
In the midst of that battle I captured Kashtiliashu, king of the Kassites and trod with my feet upon his lordly neck as thought it were a footstool. Bound I brought him as a captive into the presence of Ashur, my lord. Thus I became lord of Sumer and Akkad in its entirety and fixed the boundary of my land as the Lower Sea in the east.
At that time the god Ashur-Enlil, my lord, requested of me a cult center on the bank opposite my city and he commanded me to build his sanctuary. Beside the desired object of the gods i.e. the city Ashur I built the great cult center, my royal dwelling, and called it Kar-Tukulti-Ninurta. I completed within it the temple of the gods Ashur, Adad, Shamash, Ninurta, Nusku, Nergal, Sebetti, and the goddess Ishtar, the great gods, my lords. I made the Pattu-meshari "Canal of Justice" flow as a wide stream to its sanctuaries and arranged for regular offerings to the great gods, my lords, in perpetuity from the fish lit. "produce" of the water of that canal. Within that cult center I took possession of much terrain beside the Tigris, I erected a terrace which was 120 layers of brick high, and on top of those layers of brick I constructed Egalmesharra, "House of the Universe", my royal dwelling.
At that time I built the wall of Kar-Tukulti-Ninurta, the great cult center, to inspire awe for my lordship. I completed it from top to bottom and deposited my monumental inscriptions.
In the future may a later prince, when that wall becomes old and dilapidated, restore it. May he anoint with oil my monumental inscription, make sacrifices, and return it to its place. Then the god Ashur will listen to his prayers.
He who destroys that wall, discards my monumental inscription and my inscribed name, abandons Kar-Tukulti-Ninurta, my capital, and neglects it: May the god Ashur, my lord, overthrow his sovereignty, smash his weapons, bring about the defeat of his army, diminish his borders, decree the end of his reign, darken his days, vitiate his years, and destroy his name and his seed from the land.

At the beginning of my sovereignty and on the throne of my sovereignty I brought about the defeat of eight kings of the Hittite kings from the opposite bank of the Euphrates and brought them to my land. I conquered the lands Qutu, Uqumanu, Elhunia, and Sharnida, and Mehru. I settled in the midst of battle the extensive paphu-shrine. I ruled the lands Katmuhu, Alzu, Madanu, Nihanu, Ala, Tepurzu, Purulumzu, and the rest of the extensive Shubaru. I confined 40 kings and their troops like sheep and goats.
At that time I fought with Kashtiliashu, king of Karduniash Babylonia, to wage war. I slew his troops. In that battle I captured Kashtiliashu, king of Kashu. I brought him alive and brought him to the presence of the god Ashur, my lord. I ruled Sumer and Akkad to its entirety. With joy and awe, I stood over them.
At that time, the god Ashur, the lord of the cult center, approached me and told me to build his temple. By the command of the god Ashur, the god who loves me, I built the city Ashur on the Tigris, in a rugged area, where houses and settlements are not built, and where no bricks are laid, and where no bricks are laid, which is not the city Ashur's city. I built on the other side the city Kar-Tukulti-Ninurta. I built two walls. I laid bricks in its foundations and laid bricks in its foundations. I laid large brickwork in front of the wall and deposited it in my city.
At that time I built and completed the wall of my city Kar-Tukulti-Ninurta. I completed it from top to bottom and deposited my monumental inscription.
May a later prince, when that wall becomes dilapidated and old, restore it. May he anoint with oil my monumental inscriptions, make sacrifices, and return them to their places. Then Ashur, Enlil, and Shamash will listen to his prayers. The one who does not restore that wall and destroys my monumental inscriptions and his seed from the land will die.

I conquered the lands of the Qutu, Uqumanu, the lands Elhunia and Sharnida, the land Mehru. I brought about in battle the defeat of the extensive army of the Paphu. I became lord of the lands Katmuhu, Alzu, Madanu, Nihanu, Alaia, Tepurzu, Purulumzu, and the entire land of the extensive Shubaru. I cut straight as a string through the rocky mountains of the lands Nairi. I subdued at my feet forty kings and their troops, and imposed upon them corvée.

I called it Kar-Tukulti-Ninurta. I surrounded it with two walls, I heaped up heaps of earth in front of the wall and I dug a big moat following the circumference of the wall. In my city Kar-Tukulti-Ninurta which I love I constructed magnificent daises to serve as armchairs for the great gods and goddesses, my lords. I cut straight as a string through rocky terrain massive and strong mountains; I cut a wide path for two watercourses of life which provides abundance for my city Kar-Tukulti-Ninurta. I transformed its plains into irrigated fields. I arranged for regular offerings to Ashur and the great gods, my lords, in perpetuity from the fish lit. "produce" of the water of that canal.

Tashmetu, who is with him, has come to greet him.

The exorcists who go before him and write the letter, are his people; they go before him and speak.

They carry baskets of theirs and recite their shurru-songs. They speak in front of Shamash: "They have done the good deeds of Ashur, and what is my fault?"

Bel, who is surrounded by a desert, has piled up his reeds on him, and has piled up his reeds on the mountain which went out of the mountain.
The god ..., who did not go out with Bel to the Akitu House, took the ... of the captives and seated him with him.

The flour which is very plentiful in Nisan I is the flour which was seized.
The water and hands which he offers are where he erected it, and his libations there .
The 'garment' which is on him and which is said: "They are water, they are sulphur."
He said in the same way when he was higher: "If heaven and earth did not exist, Ashur will take it."
When the city and temple became strong, it poured out the water which was on Ashur.
He who committed his crime in the storehouse, he who poured out water without water, and ... the storehouse.
The rites which they perform in Kislev IX in front of Bel and all the cult centers are those of Ninurta.
When Ashur and Ninurta wrote to me about the defeat of Anzu, Nergal ... said in front of Ashur: "Anzu defeated him" — Ashur gave the order to Kakka.
"Go and speak to all the gods, and they will be slandered and killed."
All the talk which they speak among the chanters, the libations which they libate and the libations which they make, are the gods, his fathers, who went.
The dog of Esabad has crossed over to me. You send that messenger of Gula to him.
The sandal which they brought into the temple of the Lady of Babylon is a gift. They will bring it back and make it come back. They will not make it come back back to him, they will not bring it back.

Ashur, Sin, Shamash, Adad and Ishtar, Bel, Nabû, Nergal, Ishtar of Nineveh, Ishtar of Arbela, Ishtar of Bit-Kidmuri:

......:"Without the messenger of his lords, who would take him out?"

The ... which is done on the ziggurrat: When the gods surrounded him, he fled and went up there, thinking: "Perhaps I will be saved." They brought him down from there.
The saddle beneath him, and the red wool with which he is clothed, are the blows with which he was struck. They are dyed with his blood.
Tashmetu, who sits with him, has come to greet him.
... who does not go with him, saying: "I am not a criminal; I have nothing to do with him!" — on account of that Ashur entrusted judgment to him; he passes the judgments.
... who does not go with him, is the son of Ashur. He is a guard appointed over him, and guards the citadel on account of him.
The head which hangs from the crossbar of the Lady of Babylon, is the head of the criminal who assisted and advised him. They have hung his head on the neck of the Lady of Babylon.
Nabû, who returns and goes to Borsippa, and sprinkles about the stamens of the date palms there: that is because Bel went to the place of the river ordeal. The city has revolted against him and they are fighting in there.
The pig reeds which they throw in the path of Nabû when he comes from Borsippa, and which Nabû, in his coming, steps upon and sees, is the criminal who was with Bel: he recognizes him as the accomplice of Bel.
The exorcists, who go in front of him reciting an incantation, are his people; they go wailing in front of him.
The ecstatic who goes before the Lady of Babylon is a bringer of news; he goes toward her weeping: "They are taking him to the river ordeal!" She sends him away, saying: "My brother, my brother!" ......

The milk which they milk in front of Ishtar of Nineveh is milked because she brought him up and showed compassion to him.
Enuma Elish, which is recited and chanted in front of Bel in Nisan, concerns his imprisonment.
He says prayers and makes supplications to them, and pleads his case before Shamash: "I only did what was good to Ashur! What is my crime?"
Bel, who scans the sky, prays to Sin and Shamash: "Let me live!"
Bel, who scans the ground and on whom his ...s have been put, is thus because he turned back from the river ordeal.
..., who does not go out with Bel to the Akitu House, holds the fetter of the prisoner and sits with him.

The Lady of Babylon who has black wool on her back and red wool on her front ...: the red wool on her front is blood of the heart which was shed .......
The Lady of Babylon, before whom a pig is slaughtered on the 8th of Nisan, is the governess of the house. They ask her: "Who is the criminal ......?" They bring ......, muzzle the criminal and .......

The water which he mixes with ...... and pours out, is the turbid water .......
The ... which they place on the marinaded roasted meat, is that of ... .......
The flour which is much too plentiful for Nisan, is the flour which was there when he was taken prisoner.
The water for washing the hands which they bring near, is where he wept. He poured his tears into it.
The outfit which is on him and of which it is said: "That is water" — that is a lie.
It is said in Enuma Elish: When heaven and earth were not created, Ashur came into being.
Only when city and temple already existed, did he come into being. It is the water which was over Ashur.
The outfit of his crime is gathered in the storeroom. He is not dressed in water. The chamber .......
The race which they go round in front of Bel and in all the cult cities in Kislev is that of Ninurta.
When Ashur sent Ninurta to vanquish Anzû, Nergal ...... announced before Ashur, "Anzû is vanquished." Ashur said to the god Kakka:
"Go and tell the good news to all the gods!" He gives the good news to them, and they rejoice about it and go.
All the talk which they talk among the lamentation priests, and the acts of robbery which they commit against him and afflict him with are the gods, his fathers, coming up.
The dog which crosses Esabad is a messenger. Gula is sending it to him.
The shoe which they bring to the temple of the Lady of Babylon is a token. He sends it to her, because they will not let him go out.
The chariot which goes to the Akitu temple and comes back has no driver. Without a driver, it rocks about.
Finally, Sakkukutu who goes round the city is his wailing woman. She circumambulates the city.
The lattice door is so called because when the gods surrounded him, he entered the building and locked the door behind him. They bored holes in the door and did battle through them.
Whoever crushes this tablet or throws it into water, or sees it but does not tell about it to one who does not know it,
may Ashur, Sin, Shamash, Adad and Ishtar, Bel, Nabû, Nergal, Ishtar of Nineveh, Ishtar of Arbela and Ishtar of the Kidmuri Temple,
the gods of heaven and earth, and all the gods of Assyria curse him with an indissoluble, grievous curse and not have mercy on him all the days of his life. May they remove his name and seed from the country and put his flesh in the mouth of a dog.

who dwells in Dur-Duklim, the holy shrine, the dwelling of his beloved, the great lord, his lord:
Palil-erish, governor of the land Rashappa, the cities Nemed-Issar and Apku,
I had a statue of Adad-narari, king of Assyria, his lord, made and presented it to the god Adad-narari, king of Assyria, his lord. I erected it as a throne for his priesthood.
He made a scepter for the protection of the people, his own hands, the well-being of his seed, the well-being of the people of Assyria and the well-being of Assyria, and for the preservation of his privileged status, to destroy his enemies, to destroy his enemies, and to subdue his enemies.
Whoever removes this object from the presence of Shalmaneser, whether by water or by earth, or by a tomb, or by a place of light, and places it in the house of the azag,
May the god Shalmaneser, the great lord, overthrow his sovereignty and destroy his name and his seed from the land. May he sit with the female slave of his land in a single day.
To the god Salmanu who resides in Dur-Katlimmu, the holy shrine, his beloved abode, the great lord, his lord.
Nergal-eresˇ,governor of the country of Rasappa,the city of Nemed-Issar and the city of Apku,
had a golden sword made and made and presented an image of Adad-nerari III, king of Assyria, his lord, to the god Salmanu!! Text: Adad Adad-nerari, king of Assyria, his lord, who protects the throne of his priesthood,
to give into his hands the sceptre that shepherds the people, for the wellbeing of his seed, the wellbeing of the people of Assyria and the wellbeing of Assyria, to scatter his adversaries, to destroy his fierce foes, to subdue his enemy princes.
Whoever discards this image from the presence of Salmanu or puts it into another place, whether he throws it into water or covers it with earth or brings and places it into a taboo house where it is inaccessible,
may the god Salmanu, the great lord, overthrow his sovereignty; may his name and his seed disappear in the land; may he live in a contingent together with the slave women of his land.
