o 1'1'	[...] x	(o 1') [...] ... [(Because) my horses and my men had become th]irsty [for water due to the fighting, I did not pursue them. Forty of (these three hundred and four) men perished] due to thirst for water; [(the remaining) two hundred and fifty-four men of] them got away. [I (thus) killed one thousand eight hundred and forty-six of their men. This is a single def]eat which Ninurta-kudurrī-uṣur, [governor of the land of Sūḫu and the land of Mari], inflicted [upon] the Ḫatallu (tribesmen). [With regard to Šamaʾgamni, the herald of the] Sarugu (clan), their leader, [the dishonest servant whom the land of Sūḫu], Assyria, and my fathers [rejected], I [got hold (of him and)] killed him, (thereby) easing my heart. [I stripped off his skin like the skin of a sheep] and [set (it)] in front of the gate of Āl-gabbāri-bānî. I inflicted [such] a defeat [as] none [among] my [ancestors] had inflicted. [My ancestors had defeated the enemy ten times, but] they did not achieve as much as I. [I inflicted a single defeat (of such an extent that) I surpassed] my ancestors.
