(8) I completed the work on Esagil which (my) father who had engendered me had not finished. I (re)confirmed the regular offerings for Esagil and the gods of Babylon. I (re-)established the privileged status of Babylon (and) appointed Šamaš-<šuma>-ukīn, my favorite brother, to the kingship of Babylon in order that the strong might not harm the weak.

(14b) May the goddess Ištar-of-Babylon, the august lady, look upon my good deeds with pleasure and may she say good things about me daily before the god Bēl (Marduk) and the goddess Bēltīya (Zarpanītu)! May she determine as my fate a long life (and) make my reign [as] firm as heaven and netherworld! [Moreover, with regard to] Šamaš-<šuma>-ukīn, king of Babylon, [my favorite brother], may [his days] be long and may he experience the fullness of old age!
