Obv

 1 (Yr1)

 The Great King Tabarna exercised kingship in Hatti, the nephew of the Tawannanna

2

I went to Sa{na}huitta and I did not destroy (it), but I did destroy its countries

3

Troops of my army I left at two places. Goods of all sorts I gave to them.

4

And I went to Zalbar and I destroyed it. Its Gods and three majjatu-wagons

5

I brought up (i.e. dedicated) to the Sun Goddess of Arinna. One silver bull and one ‘fist’ of silver

6

I brought up to the temple of the Storm God and nine of its gods to the temple of Mezzula. In the next year

7 (yr 2)

I went to Alalha and I destroyed it. Thereafter I went to Uršum. From Ursum

8

I went to Igakalis, from Igakalis

9

I went to Tishiniya. On my return I destroyed the country (side) of Ursum

10 (Yr 3)

And I filled the (my) estate with valuables. In the next year I went to the country of Arzawi{ya}

11

I brought along the cattle and the sheep. But behind me the enemy of Hurri entered into my country.

12

All the countries became hostile towards me, the town of Hatti alone remained (on my side).

13

The Great King Tabarna, the favourite of the Sun Goddess of Arinna, she placed him on her lap

14

And she took his hand and she used to go in front of him.  In order to punish Ninassa,

15

He went (and) they opened (the town gate) before him. And I went to Ul(lum)ma for battle.

16

And twice it brought its weapons before me and twice I brought about its defeat.

17

I destroyed Ul(lum)ma and on its soil I sowed vile grass.

18

And I expropriated a part of it (i.e. made it sacrosanct). And seven gods I brought up to the Sun Goddess of Arinna, (among them) one silver bull,

19

The female deity Katiti and the (mmountain god) Aranpilanni. And the remainder of its gods

20

I brought up to the temple of Mezzulla. I returned from U(lum)ma.

21

I went to Sallahsuwa. A fire (destroying its ramparts), Sallahsuwa itself

22

Kindled; they (the inhabitants) became my subjects. And I retrned to Hatti.

23 (Yr 4)

In the next year I went to Sanahuitta. During five months they (the inhabitants) engaged in battle.

24

And in the sixth month I destroyed Sanahuitta. The Great King eased his feelings

25

And the Sun Deity stood behind the countries. Whatsoever I brought along,

26

I brought (it) up (dedicated) to the Sun Goddess of Arinna. I drove away the chariots of the country of Abbaya.

27

From the farmer of Taksana, I appropriated his cattle and his sheep again and again. (And I went towards Parmanna).

28

Parmanna was the main center of their inhabitants and it used to govern (them).

29

Parmanna opened its town gate before me. In the next year

30 (Yr 5)

The Sun Deity (of Heaven?) took his (the King’s) hand: Alahha became hostile. And I went and destroyed Alahha.

31 (Yr 6)

In the next year, I went to Zaruna. And I destroyed Zaruna.

32

I went to Hassu and they (the inhabitants) stood before me and an army of Halab was

33

With it (the town). In the Adallur Mountain I brought about their defeat.

34

In the course of just days the Great King crossed the bank of the Purana River like a lion.

35

Like a lion with his claws, he overthrew Hassuwa. Dust

36

He strew over it. And I filled Hatti with (all) its possessions.

37

Its silver and gold was immense: the Storm God, lord of Armaruk,

38

 The Storm God, lord of Aleppo, the (Goddess) Allatum, the (mountain god) Adallur, (the Goddess) Liluri, two bulls of silver

39

Thirteen statues of silver and gold, two Hamri-(precincts). And the (interior?) back-wall

40

[of the cult-p]lace I plated with gold and (its) door I plated with gold. One table incrusted with gold

41

….. two tables of gold, three tables of silver, …. Of silver, one throne of armchair-type incrusted with gold

42

… of a King made of gold, one majjaltu-wagon, two sc[eptr]es ? of precious stones, overlaid with gold,

43

These [gods] of Hassu I brought up to the Sun Goddess of Arinna. The daughter of Allatum,

44

[the Goddess] Hebat, three statues of silver, two statues of gold, those I brought up to the temple of Mezzulla.

45

One lance of si[lver…], maces of gold five maces (?) of silver, two martels of lapislazuli, one martel of gold

46

I brought up to the temple of the Storm God. [Within one year] they (the inhabitants) threw down [their lances ?].  To the town of Taw(a)naga

47

[I went …. The Great King ] cut off his [head]. [To] Zippaana [I went. And I went up to Zippasna in the dead of night] …. (And) I entered upon them.

Rev

1

{and I strew dust upon them} (and) the Sun Deity [stood in the midst of the countries]. I, the Great King Tabarna,

2

Went to Zippasna. And while like a lion at Hahhi

3

[he] kept looking angrily, he destroyed Zippasna. And its gods

4

I brought up to the Sun Goddess of Arinna. I went to Hahhi and

5

(at Hahhi) three times I staged a fight at (its) town gate. And I destroyed it. Its property

6

I brought along to my town Hatti. Two wagons of gold,

7

Two majjaltu-wagons, one stag of silver, one table of gold, one table of silver,

8

These gods of Hahhi, one … bull of silver,

9

One ship the prow of which is made of silver, I, the Great King Tabarna,

10

Brought along from Hahhi and brought up to the Sun Goddess of Arinna.

11

I, the Great King Tabarna, removed the hands of the female slaves from the mill-stone

12

And I removed the hands of the male slaves from the sickle. Their slave dress

13

I made them take off and I placed them in the temple of the Sun Goddess of Arinna. Under the sky

14

I established their freedom. And I made a statue of gold and I brought it up to the Sun Goddess of Arinna.

15

And I overlaid the exterior wall above the outer gate with silver.

16

One chariot of silver the King of Dimmanaya sent to the Great King

17

And I, the Great King, brought it up to the Sun Goddess of Arinna. Two statues of alabaster

18

I brought up to the Sun Goddess of Arinna.

19

Noone did cross the Purattu River. The Great King Tabarna crossed it on foot and his troops after him

20

Crossed it on foot. Sargon crossed it,

21

(and) he drove away (i.e. defeated) the troops of Hahhi, (but) he achieved nothing at all against Hahhi: he did not set it afire

22

And he did not show the smoke to the Storm God.  When the Great King Tabarna

23

Ruined the King of Hassu {and Hassu}, the King of Hahhi and Hahhi, he did set (them) afire and the smoke

24

He showed to the Sun God of Heaven and to the Storm God and

25

I harnessed the King of Hassi and the King of Hahhi

26

To a wagon.
