(30) When Eanna, the temple of highest rank, beloved of the goddess Ištar, my lady, which a previous king had built, became old and its walls buckled, I sought its (original) emplacement, removed its dilapidated parts, (and) surveyed its (entire) foundation. I completely (re)built (it) with the work of the god Kulla according to its ancient specifications (and) raised its top (as high) as a mountain.
