Adad-narari I 11

(1') [At that time], (as for) the facing (of the quay wall), [which (stretches) from] the palace complex [to] the processional avenues, [which] Aššur-uballiṭ (I), my ancestor, had previously built, a ... wadi had broken through and beyond it in the middle, at the top of the orchards of the Inner City. In order to quiet down the rage of the mighty waters, I faced (the area of) the ... wadi using baked brick and bitumen. I installed three drains to carry off the water. I altered (the course of) the water and kept (it) away with baked brick and bitumen ... On the opposite bank ... I widened ... I piled up [...] ... [...]. Moreover, I deposited my monumental inscription (therein).

(22') In the future, may a f[uture] ruler, when he renovates th(at) facing (of the quay wall) and the drains that are inside it (text “them”) (when) they become dilapidated, return the name of Aššur-uballiṭ (I), my ancestor, and my inscribed name to their (text “its”) places. (The god) Aššur will (then) listen to his prayers.

(28') (As for) the one who discards the name of Aššur-uballiṭ (I), my ancestor, and my inscribed name, may Aššur, the great lord, overthrow his kingship (and) make his name (and) his seed disappear from the land. [May] the goddess Ištar, my lady, bring about the defeat of his land.
