wool.  The nomadic tribes
    were terrified by this disaster which surprised him and fled;
    I completely separated his allies and the men of Marsan
    from him; I filled the ranks of the insurgents with mortal
    terror.  He left in his tent the insignia of his royalty, the
    golden ...[33] the golden throne, the golden parasol,
    the golden sceptre, the silver chariot, the golden ornaments,
    and other effects of considerable weight; he fled
    alone, and disappeared like the ruined battlements of his
    fortress, and I entered into his retreat.  I besieged and
    occupied the town of Dur-Iakin, I took as spoil and made
    captive, him, his wife, his sons, his daughters, the gold
    and silver and all that he possessed, the contents of his
    palace, whatever it was, with considerable booty from the
    town.  I made each family and every man who had withdrawn
    himself from my arms, accountable for this sin.  I
    reduced Dur-Iakin the town of his power to ashes.  I undermined
    and destroyed its ancient forts.  I dug up the
    foundation stone;[34] I made it like a thunder-stricken ruin,
    I allowed the people of Sippara, Nipur, Babylon, and Borsippa,
    who live in the middle of the towns to exercise their
    profession, to enjoy their belongings in peace, and I have
    watched upon them.  I took away the possession of the
    fields which from remote times had been in the hand of
    the Suti Nomad, and restored them to their rightful owners. 
    I placed the nomadic tribes of the desert again under my
    yoke, and I restored the forgotten land delimitations which
    had existed during the tranquillity of the land.  I gave to
    each of the towns of Ur, Orchoe, Erikhi, Larsa, Kullab,
    and Kisik, the dwelling of the god Laguda, the god that
    resides in each, and I restored the gods who had been
    taken away, to their sanctuaries.  I re-established the
    altered laws in full force.

39 I imposed tributes on the countries of Bet-Iakin, the high
    and low part, and on the towns of Samhun, Bab-Dur, Dur-Tilit,
    Bubi, Tell-Khumba, which are the resort of Elam. 
    I transplanted into Elam the inhabitants of the Commagene,
    in Syria, that I had attacked with my own hand,
    obeying the commands of the great gods my Masters, and
    I placed them on the territory of Elam, in the town of
    Sakbat.  Nabu-Pakid-Ilan was authorized to collect the
    taxes from the Elamites in order to govern them; I claimed
    as a pledge the town of Birtu.  I placed all this country
    in the hands of my Lieutenant at Babylon and my Lieutenant
    in the country of Gambul.[35]

40 I returned alone to Babylon, to the sanctuaries of Bel, the
    judge of the gods, in the excitement of my heart and the
    splendor of my appearance; I took the hands of the great
    Lord, the august god Merodach, and I traversed the way
    to the chamber of the spoil.
