o 1o 1	⸢i-na maḫ⸣-re-e ger-ri-ia (blank) [(a-na KUR.má-kan u KUR.me-luḫ-ḫa lu-u al-lik)]	(1) On my first campaign, [(I marched to Makan (Egypt) and Meluḫḫa (Ethiopia))]. Taharqa, the king of Egypt and Kush, who[se defeat] Esarhaddon — the father who engendered [me — had brought about (and) whose land he ruled over], forgot [the m]ight of (the god) Aššur, the goddess Ištar, and the great gods, my lords, an[d trusted in his own counsel]. (5) He mar[ched agai]nst the kings (and) officials, whom [the father who had engendered me had appointed] inside Egypt, to kill (and) rob (them) and to take away Egypt (from them). He entered and resided in the city Memphis, a city that the father who had engendere[d me had conquered (and) made part of the territory of his land]. A fast messenger came to Nineveh [and reported (this) to me]. My heart became enraged about these deeds [and my temper turned hot]. I summon[ed] my elite forces that (the god) Aššur and the goddess [Ištar had placed in my hands].
