(15) At the beginning of my kingship, at the beginning of my reign, I conquered the lands Qutû, Uqumanî, Elḫunia and Šarnida, (and) Meḫri. Annually, I regularly received the tribute of their lands and the produce of their mountains in my city, Aššur.

(33) With my surpassingly strong might, I frequently traversed impassable rocky mountains, (on) the paths that no other king (before me) had known. Forty kings of the Naʾiri lands fiercely took up a position for armed conflict. I fought with them (and) brought about their defeat. I caused their blood to flow into the caves and ravines of the mountains. I became the lord of all of their lands and levied upon them tribute and impost forever.

(48) With the support of the gods Aššur, Enlil, and Šamaš, the great gods, my lords, (and) with the aid of the goddess Ištar, the lady of heaven (and) netherworld (who) marches before of my army, I approached Kaštiliašu, the king of Karduniaš (Babylonia), to do battle. I brought about the defeat of his army (and) struck down his warriors. In the midst of that battle, I captured Kaštiliašu, the king of the Kassites, (and) trod with my feet upon the neck of his lordly majesty as though it were a footstool. I brought him bound as a captive into the presence of (the god) Aššur, my lord. I became the lord of Sumer and Akkad to its full extent. I fixed the boundary of my land as the Lower Sea of the Rising Sun.

(70) At that time, I delineated the sanctuaries of my city, Aššur, (which are on) the north side, remote regions, (and) much terrain. I reached bedrock eighty mūšaru straight down its foundation pit. I built Elugalumunkurkurra, the royal residence, which I love, (and) I completed (it) from its foundations to its crenellations. Moreover, I deposited my commemorative inscription.

May a king who is his enemy take away his throne (and) under his very eyes rule his land. May the goddess Ištar, my lady who designated my turn for kingship, bring about the defeat of his land so that he does not stand firm before his enemies. May she hand him over to his enemies.
