of Phoenicia and Arvad
87 on the sea-coast—­silver, gold, tin, copper, kam of copper,
     vestments of wool and linen, pagutu[43] great and small,
88 strong timber, wood of ki[44] teeth of dolphins, the produce
     of the sea, I received as their tribute:  my yoke they accepted;
     the mountains of Amanus[45] I ascended; wood for
     bridges,
89 pines, box, cypress, li-wood, I cut down; I offered sacrifices
     for my gods; a trophy[46] of victory I made, and in a
     central place I erected it;
90 gusuri-wood, cedar wood from Amanus I destined for
     Bit-Hira,
     and my pleasure house called Azmaku, for the temple
     of the Moon and Sun the exalted gods.
91 I proceeded to the land of Iz-mehri, and took possession
     of it throughout:  I cut down beams for bridges of mehri
     trees, and carried them to Nineveh; (and)
92 to Istar Lady of Nineveh (on) my knees I knelt.[47] In the
     eponym of Samas-nuri[48] in the honor of the great Lord
     Assur my Lord on the 20th of April[49]
93 from Calach I withdrew—­crossed the Tigris—­descended
     to the land of Kipani, and there, in the city of Huzirina,
     received the tribute of the governors of its cities.
94 While stationed at Huzirana I received the tribute of
     Ittiel of Nilaya, Giridadi of Assaya, in silver
95 gold, oxen, sheep.  In those days I received the tribute in
     beams for bridges, cedar wood, silver, gold of Qatuzili
96 of Commagene[50]—­withdrew from Huzirina and took my
     way upward along the banks of the Euphrates; to Kubbu.[51]
97 I crossed over into the midst of the towns of Assa in
     Kirkhi over against Syria.  The cities of Umalie and
     Khiranu
98 powerful cities centrally situated in Adani I captured; numbers
     of their soldiers I slew; spoil beyond reckoning
99 I carried off; the towns I overthrew and demolished; 150
     cities of their territory I burned with fire; then from Khiranu
100 I withdrew; I passed over to the environs of the land of
     Amadani; I went down among the cities of Dirrie, and
     the cities within the lands of
101 Amadani and Arquanie I burned with fire:  Mallanu which
     is in the middle of Arquanie I took as my own possession;
     I withdrew from Mallanu
102 to the cities of Zamba on the sandy outskirt, which I
     burned with fire:  I passed the river Sua, proceeding up
     to the Tigris whose cities
103 on those banks and on these banks of the Tigris in Arkanie
     to a heap I reduced:  its waters overflowed all Kirkhi:  my
     yoke they took;
104 their hostages I exacted; a Viceroy of my own I appointed
     over them:  in the environs of the land of Amadani I
     arrived:  at Barza-Nistun
105 To Dandamusa the fortified city of Ilani son
