To the king, my lord: your servant Sin-ahhe-riba. Good health to the king, my lord! Assyria is well, the temples are well, all the king's forts are well. The king, my lord, can be glad indeed.

The Ukkaean has sent me (this message): "The troops of the Urarṭian king have been utterly defeated on his expedition against the Cimmerians; eleven of his governors have been eliminated [with] their troops; his commander-in-chief and two of his governors [have been taken prisoners]. He (himself) came to take [the road to ......] came [...... the pr]efects of his country [......] stationed [in ......]."

[Thi]s was the report of the Ukkaean. Aššur-reṣuwa has written to me thus:

"The previous report which I sent about the Urarṭians was that they had suffered a terrible defeat. Now his country is quiet again and each of his magnates has gone to his province. Kaqqadanu, his commander-in-chief, has been taken prisoner; the Urarṭian king is in the province of Wazaun."

This was the report of Aššur-reṣuwa. Nabû-le'i the governor of Birate has written to me:

"I have written to the guards of the forts along the border concerning the news of the Urarṭian king and they (tell me this): 'His troops have been utterly defeated on his expedition against the Cimmerians. Three of his magnates along with their troops have been killed; he himself has escaped and entered his country, but his army has not yet arrived (back).'"

This was the report of Nabû-le'i. The (king) of Muṣaṣir and his brother and son have gone to greet the Urarṭian king, and the messenger of the (king) of Hubuškia has also gone to greet him.

All the guards of the forts along the border have sent me similar reports.

They have brought me from Tabal a letter from Nabû-le'i, the major-domo of Ahat-abiša. I am herewith forwarding it to the king, my lord.
