33 Iaman learnt from afar of the approach of my expedition;
    he fled beyond Egypt toward Libya (Meluhhi),[21] and no
    one ever saw any further trace of him.  I besieged and
    took Ashdod and the town of Gimtu-Asdudim;[22] I carried
    away captive Iaman’s gods, his wife, his sons, his daughters,
    his money, and the contents of his palace, together
    with the inhabitants of his country.  I built these towns
    anew and placed in them the men that my arm had conquered.

34 I placed my Lieutenant as Governor over them, and I
    treated them as Assyrians.  They never again became
    guilty of impiety.

35 The King of Libya[23] lives in the middle of the desert, in an
    inaccessible place, at (a month’s) journey.  From the most
    remote times until the renewal of the lunar period[24] his
    fathers had sent no ambassadors to the kings, my ancestors,
    to ask for peace and friendship and to acknowledge the
    power of Merodach.  But the immense terror inspired by
    my Majesty roused him, and fear changed his intentions. 
    In fetters of iron he threw him (Iaman), directed his steps
    toward Assyria and kissed my feet.

36 Muttallu, of Commagene, a fraudulent and hostile man,
    did not honor the memory of the gods, he plotted a conspiracy,
    and meditated defection.  He trusted upon Ar-gisti,[25]
    King of Armenia, an helper who did not assist him,
    took upon himself the collection of the tributes and his
    part of the spoil, and refused me his submission.  In the
    anger of my heart, I took the road to his country with the
    chariots of my power, and the horsemen who never left
    the traces of my feet.  Muttallu saw the approach of my
    expedition, he withdrew his troops, and no one saw any
    further trace of him.  I besieged and occupied his capital
    and 62 large towns all together.  I carried away his wife,
    his sons, his daughters, his money, his treasure, all precious
    things from his palace, together with the inhabitants of his
    country as spoil, I left none of them.  I inaugurated this
    town afresh; I placed in it men from the country of Bit-Iakin,
    that my arm had conquered.  I instituted my Lieutenant
    as Governor, and subdued them under my rule.  I
    previously took from them 150 chariots, 1,500 horsemen,
    20,000 archers, 1,000 men armed with shields and lances,
    and I confided the country to my Satrap.

37 While Dalta, King of Ellip, lived, he was submissive and
    devoted to my rule, the infirmities of age however came
    and he walked on the path of death.  Nibie and Ispabara,
    the sons of his wives, claimed both the vacant throne of
    his royalty, the country and the taxes, and they fought a
    battle.  Nibie applied to Sutruk-Nakhunti[26] King of Elam
