(2) Ashurbanipal, king of Assyria, the ruler who reveres her, the governor (who is) the creation of her hands, who, at her great command, cut off the head of Teumman, the king of the land Elam, in the thick of battle.

(6) Moreover, with her great support, I defeated Ummanigaš (Ḫumban-nikaš II), Tammarītu, Paʾê, (and) Ummanaldašu (Ḫumban-ḫaltaš III), who had exercised kingship over the land Elam after Teumman, and (then) harnessed them to a processional carriage, the vehicle of my royal majesty.

(14b) On account of this, O Mullissu, may this courtyard be acceptable to you. Grant me Ashurbanipal, the one who reveres your great divinity long life (lit. “life of long days”) (and) happiness, and (then) may my feet grow old walking about in Emašmaš!
