(11b) At that time, Argišti (I) of the land Urarṭu — the number of whose forces is huge like a thick cloud and who had not had relations with (lit. “stretched out his hand to”) any previous king — rebelled and assembled the people together at the land Gutium. He put his (forces for) battle in good order (and then) all of his troops marched into the mountains for battle.

(13b) By the command of the father, (the god) Aššur, the great lord, and the lofty mother of Ešarra, the foremost among the gods, the goddess Mullissu, Šamšī-ilu, the field marshal, the great herald, [the administrator of] temples, (and) the chief of the extensive army, (15) put a strong force of soldiers into those mountains. With the great roar of drums (and) weapons at the ready, which reverberate in a terrifying manner, he rushed forth like a terrible storm. He let fly the stormy steeds that were harnessed to his chariot against him (Argišti), like the anzû-bird, and he defeated him. He (Argišti) abandoned his troops (and) scattered people (and), (because he was) frightened by the battle, he escaped like a thief. He (Šamšī-ilu) captured his camp, his royal treasure, (and) his … from him.

(19) At that time, I erected two magnificent lions at the right and left of the gate of Kār-Shalmaneser, the city of my lordly majesty, and I named them (as follows). The name of the first is “The lion who [...], angry demon, unrivalled attack, the one who overwhelms the insubmissive (and) brings success.” The name of the second, which stands before the gate, is “The one who charges through battle, who flattens the enemy land, who expels criminals, and who brings in good people.”
