CHAPTER IX
34/306

These captured animals he had carried with him on his return to Asshur, his capital city, together with the horns and skins of the slain beasts.

The lions which he had destroyed in his various journeys he estimates at 920.

All these successes he ascribes to the powerful protection of Nin and Nergal.
The royal historiographer proceeds, after this, to give an account of his domestic administration, of the buildings which he had erected, and the various improvements which he had introduced.

Martu, Bel, Il or Ra, and the presiding deities of the city of Asshur, palaces for his own use, and castles for the protection of his territory.
