Ashurnasirpal (II), king of Assyria, son of Tukultī-Ninurta (II), king of Assyria, renovated its dilapidated section(s). That private room ... (and) its construction was inexpert (and thus) I tore down that cella. |

I roofed it with magnificent beams of cedar grown on Mount Amanus. I fastened (metal bands) on facing doors of white cedar [and] I installed (them) in its gate. |
