(1') [In my accession year (and) in my first regnal year, after] I sat on [the throne of my royal majesty] in a grandiose manner, I mus[tered (my) chariot]ry (and) [extensiv]e troops. I [co]nquered inaccessible fortresses round about. I rec[eived] a tribute of horses from the land Gilzānu. ... [Because] horses were not (continually) brought in hither to me I [became angry and] marched to the cities Ḫarira (and) Ḫalḫalauš, which (were under the authority) of the guilty rulers. Those I conquered in the eponymy of Ashurnasirpal (II) (882). I took out their property, booty, possessions, (and) herds (and) brought (them) to my city, Aššur. (10´) I dedicated the large city of their … to (the god) Aššur, my god (and) my lord. I conquered [...] . (As for) the lords [...] who [had fled] to the land Šubria, which […, ...]. They put their [full] trust in the might of [their] troops and [...] … [...] … [...] they seized [...].
