Ashurbanipal 108

(o? i 1') the deities Aššur, [...], Ninurta, Ner[gal, ...] ... [...]

(r? i' 1') [... I advanced and marched] against [Ummanaldašu (Ḫumban-haltaš III), the king of the land Elam who had n]ot bowe[d down to my yoke].

(r? i' 4') [In the c]ours[e of m]y [campaign], I conquered the city Dūr-Undās[i], a royal city of his.

(r? i' 5'b) My troops saw the Idide River, a raging torrent (and) were afraid to cross (it). [During the n]ight, the goddess Ištar who resides in Arbela showed a dream to my troops [and] said [the f]ollowing [to them], saying: “I myself will go before Ashur[banipal], (rev.? i´ 10´) the king that my (own) two hands created.” My troops trusted [this dream (and) they safely crossed] the Idide River.

(r? i' 12') [I conquered], dest[royed], demolished, (and) burne[d] with fire fourteen cities, his royal residence(s), together with s[mall(er)] settlements, [which were without number], and twelve districts that were i[n the land Elam, all of it. I turned (them) into mounds of ruins (lit. “mound(s) and ruin(s)”). I slew] his [w]arriors [without number. I struck down his elite fighting men] with the [sword].

(r? i' 16') [Umma]naldaš[u (Ḫumban-haltaš III), the king of the land Elam, fled n]ake[d and took to the mountain(s)].

(r? i' 18') [I conquered the city B]anun[u, together with the district of the city Tasarra, a]ll [(of it). ...]
