Whereas
,
for
all
time
(
since
)
the
creation
of
humankind
,
no
king
among
kings
ever
Armanam
and
Ebla
had
destroyed
,
by
the
weapon
(
?
)
of
Nergal
a
path
Naram-Sin
the
mighty
did
open
,
and
Armanam
and
Ebla
he
(
Nergal
)
gave
to
him
.
Further
,
Amanus
,
the
Mountain
of
Cedar
and
the
Sea
Upper
he
bestowed
upon
him
,
and
by
the
weapon
of
Dagan
,
the
exalter
of
his
kingship
,
Naram-Sin
the
mighty
Armanum
and
Ebla
did
defeat
.
Further
,
from
the
(
very
)
mouth
of
the
Euphrates
River
as
far
as
the
city
Ulišum
,
the
people
ones
whom
Dagan
for
the
first
time
had
bestowed
upon
him
,
he
smote
,
so
that
the
earth
basket
of
Ilaba
his
god
they
(
now
)
bear
.
Further
Amanus
,
the
Mountain
of
Cedar
,
he
did
conquer
.
When
the
god
Dagan
the
verdict
(
for
)
Naram-Sin
the
mighty
did
give
,
and
Rida-Adad
,
king
of
Armanum
into
his
hands
did
give
,
and
he
himself
(
Naram-Sin
)
in
the
middle
of
his
(
palace
)
entryway
did
capture
him
,
with
diorite
a
statue
of
himself
he
created
,
and
to
the
god
Sin
he
dedicated
it
.
Thus
(
says
)
Naram-Sin
the
mighty
,
king
of
the
world
quarters
the
four
:
The
god
Dagan
Armanum
and
Ebla
did
give
me
,
and
Rid-Adad
,
king
of
Armanum
I
captured
,
and
at
that
time
an
image
of
myself
I
created
,
and
to
Sin
I
presented
it
.
Let
no
one
my
inscription
remove
,
(
rather
)
my
statue
before
Sin
let
it
stand
.
Further
,
that
which
his
god
shall
give
to
him
,
may
it
'
go
'
for
him
,
(
but
)
the
task
I
performed
(
?
)
to
.
.
.
I
did
