Adad-narari I 14

(1) Adad-nārārī (I), appointee of the god Enlil, vice-regent of (the god) Aššur, son of Arik-dīn-ili, appointee of the god Enlil, vice-regent of (the god) Aššur, son of Enlil-nārārī, (who was) also appointee of the god Enlil (and) vice-regent of (the god) Aššur.

(4) At that time, (as for) the wall of the Inner City, which my ancestors, the kings who came before me, had previously built (and) which is opposite the large new ziggurat of the god Aššur, my lord, which Arik-dīn-ili, my father, had built, that wall had become dilapidated and I removed its dilapidated section(s) (and) reached its foundation pit. I restored it (by) making (it) ten bricks thick. I built (it) from its foundations to its crenellations. I deposited my commemorative inscriptions and my foundation inscriptions (therein).

(18) In the future, may a future ruler, when he renovates that wall (when) it becomes dilapidated just as I had done, renovate (it) (and) return my inscribed name, my commemorative inscriptions, and my foundation inscriptions to their places. The god Aššur will (then) listen to his prayers.

(26) (As for) the one who erases my inscribed name and writes his (own) name or discards my commemorative inscriptions, may the god Aššur, my lord, overthrow his kingship, slay him, his people, and his seed. May he not stand firm before his enemy. May the goddess Ištar, (my) lady, bring about the defeat of his land. May the god Adad strike his land with terrible lightning (and) afflict his land with want.

(39) Ṣippu, fourteenth day, eponymy of Aššur-ēriš, the son of Abattu.
