(8b) I brought within the boundaries of my land (the territory stretching) from the passes of the land Ḫabruri to the land Gilzānu, from the opposite bank of the Lower Zab to the city Tīl-bāri, which is upstream from the land Zabban, from the city Tīl-ša-Abtāni to the city Tīl-ša-Zabdāni, (and) the cities Ḫirimmu (and) Ḫarutu, (which are) fortresses of Karduniaš (Babylonia). Moreover, I gained dominion over the wide Naʾiri lands, to their (text: its) full extent.

(11b) I reorganized the city Kalḫu. I cleared away the old ruin hill (and) dug down to water level; I sank (the foundation pit) down to a depth of 120 layers of brick. I founded the temple of the god Ninurta, my lord, inside it. At that time, I made with my skill this statue of the god Ninurta, which had not existed previously, as an icon of his great divinity out of the best stone of the mountain and reddish gold. I regarded it as my great divinity in the city Kalḫu. I appointed his festivals in the months Šabāṭu (XI) and Ulūlu (VI). I reinforced (it) that temple all around. I laid the dais of the god Ninurta, my lord, inside it.

(17) When the god Ninurta, the lord, for eternity sits joyfully on his holy dais in his alluring shrine, may he be truly pleased (and) so command the lengthening of my days, may he proclaim the multiplication of my years, may he love my priesthood, (and) wherever there is battle or wars in which I strive may he cause me to attain my goal.
