[...] ... [... I carried off the people of the land Bīt-Yakīn and their gods, together with sol]diers of [the king of the land Elam, and I brought (them) to Assyria].

Afterwards, the [Babylonians — ..., who along with Mar]duk-apla-iddina (II) (Merodach-baladan) [had gr]oveled [in the face of] my mighty [we]apons dur[ing the course of a previous campaign of mine, ...] ..., had gone out, and had fled to (the land) Elam — brought [..., the E]lamite, to Babylon [and] he (the king of Elam) pla[ced Šūzubu (Nergal-ušēzib), son of Gaḫul (Gaḫal), o]n the royal throne over them.

[I ordered archers, chariots], (and) horses of my royal contingent to confront (10´) [the king of the land Elam]. They killed many of his troops, including his son, and [he (the king of Elam) retreated. They] marched [to] Uruk (and) carried off the god Šamaš of Larsa (and) [the goddess the Lady of] Uruk, the go[ds] living inside it, together with their property (and) [possessions, which are without numb]er.

On their return march, [in a] pitched [battle], they took Šūzubu (Nergal-ušēzib), [the king of Babylon], alive and [brought him] before me. [At the] Citadel [Gat]e of Nineveh, I bound him with a bear.

(As for) the king of the land [Elam, who] had come [to the ai]d of the Babylonians, [I marched to his land]. I surrounded, conquered, pl[undered, des]troyed, devastated, (and) burned with fire (his) fortified cities, his treasury, and the small(er) settlements [in their environs, as far as] the pass of the land Bīt-Bunaki.

[The king of the land Elam hea]rd about [the conquest of his cities] and fear fell upon him. [He made] the rest of the people of his land [go] up [into fortresses]. He abandoned the city Madaktu, his royal city, and set out for the city Ḫaydala, which is [i]n the mountains.

I ordered the march [to the city Madaktu], his [roy]al [city]. In the month Ṭebētu (X), bitter cold [set in so I turned] around (lit. “I turned [the front of m]y [yoke]”) and took the road to Assyria.

[After my (departure) h]e (the king of Elam), in order to (re)settle his district, [...] on ruin hills. [He bro]ught [the rest] of the people of his land, who had fled before my weapons, down fr[om ...] and settled (them) on the alluvium.

[...] ... I captured the people of his land and counted (them) as booty. [I destroyed, devastated], (and) burned [with] fire [his cities].

The Babylonians [...] aligned themselves with the king of the land Elam and bowed down at his feet. [...] I ordered the march [to] Šuanna (Babylon). [...] ... in lamentation. Fear fell upon them. [They open]ed [the treasury of Esagil, sent] gold, silver, (and) precious stones [as a bribe] to the king of the land Elam (Umman-menanu), (and) [wr]ote to him as follows: “[Hurry to Babylon and align yourself with us]! Let us put our trust in you.”

He, [the king of] (the land) Elam — [the people of whose land I had captured] and carried off (and) whose cities I had destroyed, [devastated], (and) burned [with fire] — had no [sense or insight] in him (lit. “in his ear”). He accepted [the br]ibe of the Babylonians and [...] ... He did not order their work, (but) gathered [his army (and) forces].

The lands Parsuaš, Anzan, Pašeru, (and) [Ellipi, the entirety of Chaldea], (and) all of the Arameans, a large host, [formed a confederation with him. They met up with the king of B]abylon (and) the citizens of Babylon (and) Borsippa [and] they marched towards me [t]o do battle.

[With the strength of the god Aššur, my lord, I fought] with them [on] the plain of the cit[y Ḫalul]ê (and) [defeated them. I put to the sword] 150,000 of their [comb]at t[roops]. I took away from them [chariots, w]agons, (and) their [roy]al tents.

I [cap]tured alive [in the midst of (that) battle their magnates, including N]abû-šuma-iškun, a son of Marduk-apla-iddina (II) (Merodach-baladan), who [were stan]ding [in silver (decorated) chariots], bedecked with gold ..., wear gold (decorated) belt-daggers, [and have gold rings fa]stened to their forearms.

[Terror of doing battle with me o­ver]­whelmed the king of Babylon and the king of the land Elam. They released [their excrement] inside their chariot(s), [fle]d [alone], and ran away to their (own) land(s).

[... Teʾelḫu]nu, queen of the Arabs, in the middle of the desert [...] I took away [...] thousand camels from her. She [...] with Hazael. [Terror of doing battle wi]th me o­ver­whelmed them. They abandoned their tents and fled for (their) lives [to the city ...] and the city Adummatu.

[(As for) the city... and the city Ad]ummatu, which are located in the desert, [... a place of thirst in whi[ch] there is no pasture (or) watering-place, [...] ...

(As for) the cities Kapānu, ... [...] its secret place, (which is) in [... (5´´) ...
