Shalmaneser (III), king of Assyria, marched to the aid of Marduk-zākir-šumi. He struck down Marduk-bēl-usāti with the sword (and) confirmed Marduk-zākir-šumi on his father’s throne. I marched about justly in the wide land Karduniaš (Babylonia). I marched to Babylon, Borsippa, and Cutha. I made sacrifices to the gods in the shrines of the cities of Karduniaš (Babylonia). I went down to Chaldea (and) gained dominion over Chaldea to its full extent. I received tribute from the kings of Chaldea, as far as the sea, (and) imposed my powerful might upon the Sealand. |
