XXXIV

The gods Hercules and Nergal gave their valiant servants and their

_arrows_ as a glory to support my empire. Under the auspices of Hercules,

my guardian deity, four wild bulls, strong and fierce, in the desert, in

the country of Mitan, and in the city Arazik, belonging to the country of

the Khatte,[1] with my long _arrows_ tipped with iron, and with heavy

blows I took their lives. Their skins and their horns I brought to my city

of Ashur.
