(18) (As for) the temple of the god Enlil, which Erišum (I), the son of Ilu-šūma, had built, it had become dilapidated and I abandoned it. Then, I built the temple of the god Enlil, my lord, the fearful dais, the large chapel, the seat of the god Enlil, my lord, (all of) which were methodically made by the skilled work of the building trade in my city, Aššur.

(37) I roofed th(at) temple with (beams of) cedar. In (its) rooms, I erected doors of cedar, whose stars were (made with) silver and gold stars. (I placed) silver, gold, lapis lazuli, (and) carnelian (under) the walls of the temple. I mixed cedar resin, good quality oil, honey, and ghee into (its) mortar. I methodically made the temple of the god Enlil, my lord, and I called the temple of the god Enlil, my lord, (that was) inside my city, Aššur, Eamkurkurra, “the Temple of the Wild Bull of the Lands.”

May he and his army not prevail in the face of a king who opposes him. May the god Nergal take his treasure and the treasure of his land away by force.
