Assyrians
& Nairi Text
“I advanced against them with all
the fury of my dread armament and, like Adad’s flood,
annihilated their great army… Sixty kings of the lands of Nairi,
together with those who came to their aid, did I drive with
my spear as far as the Upper Sea. I captured their great cities,
I carried off their riches and their spoils, I gave their
dwellings to the flames… All the kings of the lands of Nairi did
I capture alive. But to all these kings I showed mercy, granting them
their lives in the sight of Shamash, my lord and master, and
freeing them from the bonds of captivity.”
