Palace of Tiglath-pileser (III), great king, mighty king, king of the world, king of Assyria, king of Babylon, king of Sumer and Akkad, king of the fou[r] quarters (of the world), the one chosen by the glance of the god Enlil.

From the beginning of my reign until my seventeenth palû, I captured the (tribes) Ituʾu, Rubuʾu, Ḫamarānu, Luḫuʾatu, (5) Nabātu, Ḫindiru (Ḫindaru), Ruʾuʾa, Liʾtaʾu, Marusu, Puqudu, [Ara]means, as many as there were on the banks of the Tigris, [Euph]rates, Surappu, (and) Uqnû Rivers, [as far as the] Lower [S]ea of the Rising Sun. (10) I annexed (those areas) [to] Assyria (and) placed a eunuch of mine [as provincial] governor over them.

Like a threshing sledge, I trampled down the lands Bīt-Silāni (Bīt-Šilāni) (and) Bīt-Saʾalli (Bīt-Šaʾalli), (and) captured their [king]s. I destroyed the cities Sarrabā[nu] (and) Dūr-Baliḫāya, their large cities, (making them) like a mound of ruins. (15) I brought [all of th]eir [people] to Assyria.

I enter[ed] Babylon (and) offered [pure sacrifices be]fore the god Marduk, my lord.

I exercised authority over Karduniaš (Babylonia), [..., (and) firmly established tribute (and) payment] on the chi[eftains] of Chaldea.
