Palace of Sargon (II), appointee of the god Enlil, vice-regent for (the god) Aššur, strong king, king of the world, king of Assyria; king who ruled the four quarters (of the world), from east to west, and set governors (over them).

At that time, I built a city on the outskirts of Nineveh, at the foot of Mount Muṣri, (10) and named it Dūr-Šarrukīn.

I erected dwelling(s) for the gods Sîn, Šamaš, Adad, (and) Ninurta, the great gods, inside it.

I built inside it palatial halls using (lit.: “of”) elephant ivory, ebony, (15) boxwood, musukkannu-wood, cedar, cypress, (and) da[pr]ānu-juniper. I then wrote my name upon tablet(s) of gold, silver, copper, tin, lead, lapis lazuli, (and) alabaster and placed (them) in its foundations.

May a future prince renovate its dilapidated sections, write his own commemorative inscription, and set (it) with my commemorative inscription. (The god) Aššur will (then) listen to his prayers.
