XXX

In the service of Ashur my Lord, my chariots and warriors I assembled, and

I approached Kapshuna, their capital city; the tribes of Comani would not

engage in battle with me; they submitted to my yoke, and I spared their

lives. The great castle of the city and its brick buildings I trampled

under foot; from its foundations to its roofs I destroyed it and converted

it into heaps and mounds, and a band of 300 fugitive heretics who did not

acknowledge my Lord Ashur, and who were expelled from inside this

_castle_, I took this band and condemned to the service of the gods, and I

imposed upon the people tribute and offerings in excess of their former

tribute; and the far-spreading country of Comani throughout its whole

extent I reduced under my yoke.
