A copy of an inscription of Ashurbanipal from Aššur is known from a badly damaged stone tablet that was later reused as a door socket. The prologue of the text records the restoration of Esagil ("Temple Whose Top is High") at Babylon, the return of Marduk's statue from Baltil (Aššur) to Babylon, and the dedication of a ceremonial chariot and a bed, as well as the renovation of the city wall of Aššur. The tablet was inscribed in the eponymy of Awiānu, the governor of the land Que (655).

Each line of text is separated by a horizontal ruling. The script is a mixture of Assyrian and contemporary Babylonian sign forms, with Assyrian forms predominating.
