I surrounded him together with his royal (military) contingent and] slaughtered [his warriors like sheep a]t his feet. [I pierced] the horses trained to [his] yoke [with arrows. Then, (as for) him, I pierced (lit.: “loosened”) his hand with the point of an arrow and] he (then) entered the gate of his city <ste>althfully, like a mongoose. [I cut down] the Puqudians, [his] al[lie(s), (and) the] M[aršanians, together with the Sutians who were with him, in front of the gate (of his city) (and)] splattered his people with deadly venom.

(When) I ordered him [to destroy the large] walls (of his city) [and its enclosure wall(s) ...], he obeyed my command.
