to Kipina and the cities of Khin-danai[13]
38 in Laqai on the other side I occupied; their fighting men
     I slew; the city I overthrew razed and burned.  Aziel of
     Laqai
39 trusted to his forces and took possession of the heights
     of Kipina; I gave them battle; at the city of Kipina I
     effected his overthrow; 1,000 of his warriors I slew;
40 his chariots I destroyed; spoil I carried off in plenty;
     their gods I took away; for the preservation of his life he
     took refuge on a rugged hill of Bizuru at the sources of
     the Euphrates;
41 for two days I descended the river in pursuit:  the relics
     of his army with my weapons I destroyed; their hiding
     place by the hills on the Euphrates I broke up;
42 to the cities of Dumite and Azmu belonging to the son of
     Adini[14] I went down after him; his spoil, his oxen, his
     sheep,
43 which like the stars of heaven were without number I
     carried off. 
     In those days Ila of Laqai, his swift chariots and 500
     soldiers
44 to my land of Assyria I transported; Dumutu and Azmu
     I captured, overthrew, razed and burned; in the narrows of
     the Euphrates I turned aside in my course and
45 I outflanked Aziel, who fled before my mighty power to
     save his life.  Ila; the Prince of Laqai, his army his chariots,
     his harness,
46 I carried off and took to my city of Assur:  Khimtiel of
     Laqai I made prisoner in his own city.  Through the might
     of Assur my Lord, (and) in the presence of my mighty
     arms and the formidable attack
47 of my powerful forces he was afraid, and I received the
     treasures of his palaces, silver, gold, tin, copper, kam of
     copper, vestments of wool, his abundant spoil; and tribute
48 and impost in addition to what I had previously fixed I laid
     upon them; in those days I slew 50 buffaloes in the neighborhood
     of the nearer side of the Euphrates:  eight buffaloes
     I caught alive;
49 I killed 20 eagles, and captured others alive:  I founded two
     cities on the Euphrates; one on the farther bank
50 of the Euphrates which I named Dur-Assur-nasir-pal; one
     on the nearer bank which I named Nibarti-Assur.  On the
     20th of May[16] I withdrew from Calach;
51 I crossed the Tigris; to the land of Bit-Adini I went; to
     their strong city of Katrabi I approached, a city exceedingly
     strong, like a storm rushing from heaven,[17]
52 the soldiers confided to their numerous troops, and would
     not submit and accept my yoke:  in honor of Assur the great
     Lord, my Lord, and the god the great protector going before
     me, I besieged the city
53 by the warlike engines[18] on foot and strong, the city I
     captured; many of their soldiers I slew; 800 of their fighting
