Adad-narari I 09

(1) Adad-nārārī (I), king of the world, strong king, king of Assyria, son of Arik-dīn-ili, king of Assyria, son of Enlil-nārārī, (who was) also king of Assyria.

(5) (As for) the facing (of the quay wall), which faces the (Tigris) River, which through the (action of the river’s) water had become dilapidated and flood(s) had eroded away its limestone and baked brick, I repaired that facing using bitumen and baked brick.
I made (it) the thickness of four and one half bricks. I faced the back of it using limestone and bitumen mortar. [I deposited my commemorative inscriptions (therein].

(15b) May a future ruler, when that facing becomes dilapidated and eroded by flood(s), renovate (and) repair dilapidated section(s) (and) return my commemorative inscriptions and my foundation inscriptions to their places. The gods Aššur and Adad will (then) listen to his prayers.

(23) (As for) the one who alters my commemorative inscriptions and my name, may the god Aššur, my lord, overthrow his kingship. May the god Adad, my lord, strike his land with terrible lightning (and) afflict his land with want. May he kill him, his people, and his seed. May he not stand firm before his enemy and may he (Adad) make his land (look) like a ruin hill (created by) the Deluge.

(34) Month of the goddess Bēlet-ekallim, thirteenth day, eponymy of Aššur-ēriš.
