17 Assurlih, of Kar-Alla, Itti, of Allapur, had sinned
against
Assur and despised his power.

whoever they were, and Itti,
with his suite, I placed them
in Hamath.
18 I took the inhabitants of the towns of Sukkia,
Bala,

them dwell at Damascus in
Syria.

with my own hand Nirisar,
Governor of the town of Surgadia;
I added these towns to the
satrapy of Parsuas.[15]
20 Bel-sar-usur[16] was King of the town of Kisisim;
I had him
transported to Assyria with
all that he possessed, his treasure,
the contents of his palace;
I put my Lieutenant in as
Governor of the town, to which
I gave the name of Kar-Marduk.
I had an image made of my
Majesty and erected
it in the middle of the town.
I occupied 6 towns in the
neighborhood and I added them
to his government.
21 I attacked and conquered Kibaba, Prefect of the
town of
Kharkhar, I took him and the
inhabitants of his country
captive, I rebuilt this city
and made the inhabitants of the
provinces, that my arm had
conquered, live there. I placed
my Lieutenant as Governor
over them. I named the town
Kar-Sarkin; I established
the worship of the god Assur,
my Master, there. I erected
an image of my Royal self.
I occupied 6 towns in the
environs, and added them to his
government.
22 I besieged and took the towns of Tel-Akhi-tub,
Khindau,
Bagai, and Anzaria; I transported
the inhabitants of them
to Assyria. I rebuilt
them; I gave them the names of
Kar-Nabu, Kar-Sin, Kar-Ben,
Kar-Istar.

fortifications
in the neighborhood of Kar-Sarkin.

them to Assyria and I
levied annual tributes of
horses upon them.
24 I besieged and took the town of Eristana, and
the surrounding
towns in the country of Bait-Ili;
I carried away the
spoil.
25 The countries of Agag[17] and Ambanda,[18] in
Media, opposite
the Arabs of the East, had
refused their tributes, I destroyed
them, laid them waste, and
burnt them by fire.
26 Dalta of Ellip was subject to me, and devoted
to the worship
of Assur; 5 of his towns revolted
and no longer recognized
his dominion. I came
to his aid, I besieged and
occupied these towns, I carried
the men and their goods
away into Assyria with numberless
horses.
27 Urzana, of the town of Musasir, had attached himself
to
Urzaha the Armenian, and had
refused me his allegiance.
With the multitude of my army,
I covered the city of Musasir
as if it were with ravens,
and he to save his life, fled
alone into the mountains.
