Anu and Vul, the great gods, I glorified inside the shrine.

I set them up in their honored purity, and the hearts of their noble godships I delighted." The other restoration mentioned is that of a temple to Vul only, which, like that to Anu and Vul conjointly, had been originally built by Shamas-Vul, the son of Ismi-Dagon.

This building had likewise fallen into decay, but had not been taken down like the other.
