VII

The city of _Urrakluiras_ their stronghold which was in the country of

Panari, I went toward. The exceeding fear of the power of Ashur, my Lord,

overwhelmed them. To save their lives they took their gods, and fled like

birds to the tops of the lofty mountains. I collected my chariots and

warriors, and crossed the Tigris. _Shedi Teru_[1] the son of _Khasutkh_[2]

King of _Urrakluiras_ on my arriving in his country submitted to my yoke.

His sons, the delight of his heart, and his favorites, I condemned to the

service of the gods: 60 vessels of iron; _trays_[3] and _bars_ of copper

...[4] with 120 cattle, and flocks he brought as tribute and offerings. I

accepted (them) and spared him. I gave him his life, but imposed upon him

the yoke of my empire heavily forever. The wide spreading country of

Comukha I entirely conquered, and subjected to my yoke. At this time one

tray of copper and one bar of copper from among the service offerings and

tribute of Comukha I dedicated to Ashur my Lord, and 60 iron vessels with

their gods I offered to my guardian god, _Vul_.[5]
